The Stitcher's Garden
1897 Schoolhouse Samplers A Crown of Life
Design Size: 217W X 189H
Fabric: 36ct. Mocha by Weeks Dye Works
Sampler Size: 12 1/4” W x 11” H
Instructions: The model was stitched with 2 strands of over-dyed floss, over 2 linen threads and 1 strand of overdyed floss, over 1 linen thread. A single strand of Weeks Dye Works Schneckley was used, in straight stitch, to
work the feathers / crown on top of each bird’s head.
*I use as much of my floss as I possibly can, so depending on your thread usage and stitching style, you may need
an additional skein each of WDW Hibiscus, WDW Onyx and WDW Schneckley.
