Mary Carr 1803 Cross Stitch Pattern - PDF

This reproduction sampler's perfection lies in its imperfections. Stitched by a 9-year-old British child, this sampler's few missing letters, the unevenness of each of the lines of the alphabet, and the asymmetrical misplacement of some of the motifs show that Mary Carr was still learning her craft. As you stitch, you will experience the sheer joy this little girl must have felt creating something so simple, but so beautiful, for the world to enjoy. 

Cross stitch is primarily used throughout, with the exception of one row of silk stitches and two rows of eyelet stitches. My design includes instructions so that you can easily learn these two stitches even if you are a novice!  

This is the digital - pdf - version of Mary Carr 1803*. Once you purchase the pattern an email will be sent to you that will contain a link to download a pdf copy of the design. Nothing will be mailed to you.
