Susanna Lawton 1841 Queenstown Sampler Designs

Susanna Lawton 1841 Queenstown Sampler Designs is a detailed reproduction of a beautiful English sampler stitched in 1841. Designed by Queenstown Sampler Designs, this chart captures the timeless elegance of traditional schoolgirl samplers with its delicate alphabets, floral motifs, and inspirational verse—preserved with historical accuracy and adapted for today’s stitchers.

The sampler is stitched on 40 count Ivory linen by Wichelt using 38 shades of DMC cotton floss, resulting in a rich and nuanced color palette that enhances the graceful structure of the design. The project includes cross stitch over two threads, along with four-sided stitches and backstitching to add fine detail and historical authenticity.

With a stitch count of 304 high x 307 wide, the finished design area measures approximately 15.20" x 15.35", creating a striking, nearly square sampler that’s ideal for framing and display.
