This sampler is so cheery with its splashes of red and abundance of flowers.
Sarah Spencer is a very common name in England so we were unable to research our Sarah. You will note the reversed “S” in Sarah. It is not unusual for young children to reverse letters when they read and write but Sarah stitched the letter correctly in her surname. She could have simply got it wrong and did not take the time to correct her mistake. However, that does not tally with the neatness of her stitching and the diligence she showed in completing her sampler. We think it could be her way to record that although her name was spelt with an “S” it is pronounced differently like a soft vibrated “Z”.

The sampler is stitched entirely in cross stitch over two and can be stitched on linen or Aida.
Sarah is suitable for needleworkers of all abilities and would make an ideal “starter” project for those wishing to explore sampler.
