Product Details

Vanity Sampler is a reproduction sampler by Hello from Liz Mathews.  This antique sampler was a unique find that she was eager to reproduce and share with the world! The piece is called a "Vanity Sampler" because all details (name, completion date, age) about the maker have been cut out/removed to ensure that no one could ever tell their age. When Liz Mathews acquired this sampler from England, the cut and frayed section was disguised by folding the bottom border over the missing section and framing under glass. This "imperfection" made it all the more appealing and Liz notes she thinks the verse stitched in the sampler adds to the sentiment and charm of this treasure.

A second chart combines a collection of the motifs from the large sampler as well as two alphabets and  a set of numbers allowing this piece to be personalized using the smaller sampler adaptation.

Liz stitched the models on 40 count linen and the stitch count is 240 wide x 286 high.
