Big House Anno 1826
When I acquired a collection of ten antique samplers all at once, this one immediately stood out: an impressive piece with a large house and a striking blue roof. It reminded me straight away of “GH 1857”, a sampler I reproduced earlier, which also features a prominent house at its center.
When I removed the sampler from its frame, I was surprised to find that the colours on the back were still remarkably vivid. This stitcher clearly loved colour! And then comes the classic reproduction dilemma: do you base your chart on the bright original colours from the back, or on the soft, faded tones of the front? I personally tend to prefer the muted, timeworn shades.
So, I decided… to do both.
Design size: 340 W x 267 H stitches, 19 x 15 inch on 36 count linen.
Fabric: 36 count “Milk & Honey” by Fiber on a Whim or Edinburgh “Platinum” 770 by Zweigart: 27 x 23 inch
Model: stitched by Geke Vermeulen-Schilder on 36 count “Milk & Hone” by Fiber on a Whim with Soie D’Alger silks. Finished with an open hem seam by Jeanny Cobben.
