The original of this sampler is in the Castle Museum in Taunton, Somerset. It is a very pretty little sampler, with a stitch count of 239 x 188. It was worked by Lesley Gilderthorp on Belfast Platinum linen, 32 count over two threads and using one strand of Pearsall's Filoselle silk throughout.
Unfortunately we do not have any information about Elizabeth but would be pleased to hear from anyone who has. |
