This English sampler features a three-sided floral border surrounding thirteen lines of alphabets, neatly cross-stitched in several different lettering styles.  Mary Wagstaff was likely born in Huyton, Lancashire in 1809, completing this sampler when she was ten years old.  She passed away in Warrington, Cheshire, under the Warrington Charity Authority in 1853.

The sampler is executed entirely in cross stitch and is recommended for any level of skill.  On 35-count linen, the reproduction will be the same size as the original antique sampler- 8″ x 12-1/2″.
