Sheepish Designs Antique Frances F


Thank you for your kind compliments!!

Here is a picture of an older Sheepish Designs Antique Frances F. that I completed. There was no date on this sampler. However, what is unique is the way Frances stitched the letters. Some are caps, some are transposed and some are as we know them to be.

I chose a left over piece of my absolute favorite linen, barn owl 36 ct and used the suggested DMC. I used one strand of DMC to give it an aged look.

Enjoy!!

Donna, another beautiful sampler. I also have this chart along with the EB sampler from Sheepish Designs. You don't realise how beautiful it is by looking at the photo on the chart.

You can't beat the great sampler designs from the "old Sheepish Desigs". Classics every one and this is no exception. Thank you for sharing.
