Lovesa Hortenstine, 1834

Isn’t this a striking marking sampler! I had hoped to acquire it myself but someone beat me to it – then, that ‘someone’ turned out to be a stitching friend right here in Clarksville! So now we can all benefit by the opportunity to stitch this ourselves. 

We’re not sure about the re-ordering of the letters in the large alphabets, but all 26 are accounted for! She's also used the four-sided stitch and eyelets. 

This model is worked entirely in one shade of DMC floss, but look closely at the antique, and you will notice there is more than one shade of brown. The chart and instructions are presented with these details should you prefer to work it in that manner.
