Parts of it are worked over two threads of linen and others are worked over three threads of linen. She was ten years old at the time that she made this.

It is the variety of filling stitches that she used that make this such a wonderful sampler. The middle section is worked with linen thread and has a bit of cut work in. The bottom section has several styles of alphabets and the inscription reads, \"My father hitherto has done his best to make me a worke woman about the rest, Margeet Lucan, 1681, being ten years old come july the first, she had to squeeze the last two letters in along the side edge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStitches used are Montenegrin, Marking cross, diagonal cross, double running, diamond eyelet, satin, woven wheel, algerian eye, long armed cross, four sided, reversible cross, chai, holie point, spiral trellin and various forms detached buttonhole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn 40 count (16thr?cm) linen it measures 11.5\" x 19.5\" (29cm x 49cm)\u003cbr\u003eSuitable for advanced stitchers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sampler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43780812669025,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/5697\/8785\/files\/lucan.jpg?v=1774958919"},{"product_id":"cheyney-frances-1664","title":"Cheyney, Frances - 1664","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrances made an exquisite white work sampler comprised of eight cut and drawn bands with needle point filling.
