Fixes
In the first printing, the charts note a 3-space shaded overlap (which I often use for multi-page charts), but in this case that shading did not reproduce cleanly. I'll be fixing that, but please be aware you will have 3 spaces between pages that are duplicated.
Louisa Denman
The color scheme and tonal dividing bands in Louisa’s sampler are unique and quite lovely - rather soothing actually. The adaptation with the verse as shown in the model required only some minor tweaks, but is very true to Louisa’s marking sampler. If you prefer the actual reproduction, that chart is also included - as is a collectible full-color alphabet card for easy reference.
The verse on the antique reads: Jesus my saviour and my Lord; to thee I left mine eyes. Teach and instruct me by thy word, and make me truly wise.
