Besides her band sampler she stitched a cutwork sampler dated 1669, small needlework items which include two pincushions, a bird ,a needle case and several other items. She also worked a beadwork box dated 1673 and a fabulous casket dated 1671. All of her needlework is housed at the V\u0026amp;A.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStitches used double running, satin, marking cross, long armed cross, montenegrin, running stitch, eyelets and detached buttonhole.

Ours is worked on 55 count linen and measures 8\" x 36\". It can also be worked on 45 count (9.3\" x 35\"), 40 count (10.5 x 39.5) or 35 count (12\" x 45\"). Another option is to work it on 35 count linen over two threads in which case it will measure 8\" x 30\" but then algerien eye alphabet at the bottom will have to be adapted and some of the running stitches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Essamplaire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44485336858721,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/5697\/8785\/files\/medlin_41e9e6b6-b8d2-4622-b6cd-1b48e7ff239f.jpg?v=1778602114","url":"https:\/\/www.theessamplaire.com\/products\/edlin-martha-11668","provider":"The Essamplaire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
