The sampler is executed with cross stitches laid over two threads of linen. There are a small number of cross stitches that Elizabeth “squeezed in”, and these are laid 2 threads wide and one thread wide. The sampler is suitable for needleworkers of all levels of ability. Please note that on the graph the necks of the two outer geese on the grassy bank have been shown in orange so that the hand drawn stitches are visible to you. However, they are to be worked in 080/F17/Ecru.
