Hands Across the Sea - Mary Carter 1712 ~ the 2020 Queen of the May - Soie 100/3 Thread Kit

Mary Carter 1712 ~ the 2020 Queen of the May is another sampler from Hands Across the Sea Samplers.  By the time Mary was taught needlework, the need to learn a great variety of stitches and complex traditional patterns had reduced. In the 1700s embroidered costumes and furnishings were replaced by extravagant woven and printed fabrics. In this century the format of English samplers was evolving, reflecting the changing perception of their purpose. Kit Options :  Choice of purchasing thread only, printed chart or as full kit.
