Emma Wright 1904 - Hands Across the Sea Samplers

We are pleased to present to you this charming sampler worked by Emma Wright in 1904 when she was 9 years old. There were many Emma Wrights born in England in the year 1895 so we are not able to pinpoint our Emma with any certainty.

Emma's sampler has been reproduced using a palette of 13 colors from Au Ver Soie's range of Soie 100.3. We have provided conversions for Soie d'Alger (SDA) and DMC. You will only require one spool or skein of each color.

The sampler is worked mainly in cross stitch over two threads of linen with the verse worked in back stitch over two threads of linen. The sampler is rated as being suitable for needleworkers of all abilities and can be stitched on Aida or linen.
