Selena Radcliffe 1828 Reproduction Sampler
CROSS STITCH REPRODUCTION SAMPLER PATTERN, BY Couleur Tourterelle


 

A heavily faded sampler comes to life and can be recreated in all its former beauty thanks to Meriem Chauvet's, painstaking research and observation (Meriem is the collector and designer behind Couleur Tourterelle). We love the beautiful trees that surround the church - or is it two churches? - one tree taller than the bell tower. The church's typical architechtural features and crenelated tower emphasising the sampler English origin.

 

Interestingly, the sampler does not include a Biblical verse or religious quote, as would have been typical of the times, but a poem dedicated to the stitcher's mother. The stanza picked by Selena is from a poem by by Ann Taylor (1782-1866) in a work entitled «My Mother». 

 

And can I ever cease to be
Affectionate and kind to thee
Who wast so very kind to me
      My mother

 

Each stanza of this poem features a question in the first three verses and ends with the same answer : My mother.

 

Regarding stitching, there are a couple of shifted cross stitches, cross stitches shifted laterally by one fabric thread, and used to ensure the perfect symmetry of doors and windows, as well as a few stitches over a single thread. The design should therefore be stitched over 2 threads. 

 

This sampler is part of the personal collection of Meriem Chauvet of Couleur Tourterelle . The reproduction cross stitch chart strictly reproduces every stitch and matches all colors of the original sampler (see last photo).

Original Sampler (last photo) worked in cross stitch, over 2 fabric threads. 

Reproduction Sampler stitched using Soie d'Alger silk from Au Ver à soie (AVAS) or DMC, with cross stitches worked over 2 fabric threads on 40ct linen. Size 8 ¼ x 9 ½ inch (21 x 24 cm).

A cross stitch pattern by Couleur Tourterelle.
