Under the soft gleam of a winter lamp, a square of linen lies unfurled on my worktable - its surface alive with threads of crimson and green that weave together more than just patterns. At first glance, it appears a simple sampler: a neat arrangement of alphabets, numerals, and flourishes stitched with quiet discipline. But linger for a while, and this piece reveals itself as something far richer - a whispered story of devotion, patience, and festive joy, lovingly preserved in every cross-stitch.
The sampler bears the initials MB and the date 1914, stitched proudly near its base.
Stitched on overdye by Cedar River Linen. Stitch count is 263 x 221. Finished size varies on stitch count chosen.
