Description
Charlotte Ramsay, 1823 is a cheerful Scottish schoolgirl sampler made by the 10-year old Charlotte Ramsay of Craigton, Angus. The 16-page booklet contains the pattern clearly spread over 9 pages, and information on Charlotte and this sampler.
Although the pattern features mainly cross-stitch, it feature some backstitching and Algerian eyelets.
The design has been lovingly reproduced for you, and takes in account several small quirks and errors that Mary made in her work. On a few occasions Charlotte stitched some elements one thread off the grid – I have moved these elements a thread in the right direction to align it to a proper grid.
Based on stitching your design on 32 count linen with one pulled strand of floss, you require one skein of the following colours:
DMC 535 Ash Grey Very Light
DMC 646 Beaver Grey Dark
DMC 3033 Mocha Brown Very Light
