Madame Needle

Counted cross stitch chart, a reproduction from original artwork of Sarah Borton back on 1815. There are some different embroidery stitches waiting for you in this sampler. 

A little note from Hands Across the Sampler ladies: "After an extensive search we have found two Sarah Bortons who would fit our time frame.  One of our Sarahs was born in Acaster Malbis in York, England in 1805 and the other in Preston-next-Faversham, Kent, England in 1806. We suspect, due to the scene portrayed, that the latter girl is more likely to be our sampler maker. The sampler is a beautiful example of school girl art and fine needlework, especially for a 9 or 10 year old".
