Type: Cross Stitch Patterns
"Elizabeth Wood will be always a good and obedient little girl"
Model stitched on 56 count, using Au Ver A Soie 100.3 thread. Soie d'Alger alternative #2645. DMC alternative #347. Stitch count 144w x 133h.
Note from the designer:
We are pleased to present to you a charming Anglo-French red sampler stitched by Elizabeth Wood in Boulogne-sur-Mer and finished on "le 12 Novembre 1850". On discovering this sampler we were totally charmed by her promise to "be always a good and obedient little girl".
Boulogne is a city and a major fishing port on the north coast of France. It is possible that Elizabeth stitched her primer when her family were holidaying in Boulogne, although the month of November may indicate a lengthy stay rather than a summer sojourn.
Boulogne-sur-Mer housed a large British population of around 3,000 in the mid-1800s. Although there were migrant workers there, Boulogne's British population was composed largely of genteel, middle-class residents, some of them in debt, many with servants.
We wonder if Elizabeth kept the promise she so diligently stitched.
Elizabeth worked her sampler with cross stitch over 2 strands of linen and has been rated as suitable for needleworkers of all levels of ability.
