Eliza Rule 1824
Hands Across the Sea Samplers
**Nashville 2020 Preorder**
Extract from the Hands Across the Sea Description: On March 19th some 196 years ago, a young girl named Eliza Rule placed the last stitches into her sampler. We do not know where Eliza was born or the life she led. Whether it was long or short, happy or sad, fulfilling or disappointing? However, we do know that she was a fine needleworker with a good eye for color and placement. Her teacher would have praised her work, and we are sure that her parents would have been proud of “the first effort” of their daughter’s hand.
Eliza’s sweet sampler has been reproduced using Legacy Linen in 45 count Woven Sedge with one strand of Au Ver à Soie silk from their d’Alger range. The skein quantities used have been listed in the thread legend below. We have provided conversions for Soie 100.3 and DMC. We have used the vibrant colours found on the front of the sampler today.
