A Mensing 1872

A sweet, little redwork sampler that combines cross, Algerian eyelet, and four sided stitches in a most pleasing way.  Miss Mensing's stitches were not always perfect.  Some letters float slightly above the others, her spacing is at times irregular, and there is an occasional missed stitch.  

Model stitched on 35 count Week's Dye Works "Linen" linen.  The Gentle Art's Pomegranate thread used throughout.

Stitch count: 136w x 132h. 

Finished size: 7.5"w x 7.25"h on 35 count linen.

Pattern includes color photo, professional cross stitch chart with floss colors for GAST and DMC, aging instructions, and directions for hemming your sampler.
