Ada Billson 1863 is a reproduction of a mid 19th century English cross stitch sampler from the private collection of Whilst Iris Naps Designs.
The stitch count is 141 x 161 and our model is stitched on 32ct Weeks Dye Works 'Grey' which measures approximately 8 7/8 x 10 inches (22.5 x 25.4 cm). The pattern only uses cross stitch over 2 linen threads and so would be suitable for stitching on either linen or Aida. Finished sizes for a variety of fabric counts are included. We used Weeks Dye Works threads but we offer a DMC conversion table
"Little deeds of kindness, little words of love, make our Earth an Eden, like the heaven above."
