This design was inspired by a sampler from the York Museum Trust collection, borrowing the words “Peace To My Friend”. Around it, I designed a Quaker style medallion sampler with traditional style alphabets. At the bottom of the sampler is a quote from an 1822 Quaker pamphlet against slavery. The words “That which is morally wrong cannot be politically right” seem truer now than ever before.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
This design has a stitched surface measuring 204 crosses wide by 267 crosses high, with approximately 16000 crosses (depending on personalisation). Please see the graph below for size and floss estimates. Floss estimates are based on working with two pulled strands (14 – 18-count Aida or 28 – 36-count linen) or one strand (20-count Aida / 40-count linen and higher). It is, of course, up to you how many strands you want to use for your project. A three-cross greyed-out overlap area is found from the 2nd pattern page onwards to help you find your way.
As this is a monochrome design, you may stitch it with whatever colour (or colours) you wish. If you want to approach the look of the cover, I recommend the following Roxy Floss Co. flosses and linens (all exclusively available through www.evertote.ca in Canada). “Falu Red” is a gorgeous red and would be perfect for this sampler. “Arrowroot” would make for a perfect fabric to stitch on, as would “Porcelain”. As Roxy Floss Co. offers a wide range of colours, I recommend browsing the Evertote website to see what truly speaks to you.
