Madame Needle

Counted cross stitch chart featuring an artwork of Ann Tong Uffindell, who stitched this sampler in 1835. There is a sister sampler available in our shop- Eliza Uffindell sampler. 

A note from Designing team: 

"When we reproduce samplers, we not only follow the path that the little girls’ needles and floss originally took but as we research the girls, we also follow a meandering thread back through time casting a light onto their lives.

Ann and Isabella are two very special samplers. They are special not only as they are beautiful but also because they were stitched by two sisters. Both the sisters were 10 years of age when they stitched their work, Isabella in 1829 and Ann 6 years later in 1835. As a collector sister samplers particularly fascinate me. I find it so remarkable that two samplers remain together through the centuries."
