Introducing "Tell Me Ye Knowing"

Today I'm very excited to show you my other new design, Tell Me Ye Knowing. I hope you like it.

Although the verse on this sampler is a very old one that was often used, I've been unable to find the source.  I've also checked with several sampler researchers, and they also can't find the source either.  Please let me know if  you know something about it.



I stitched my model on 36-count Pecan Butter linen from Lakeside Linens, Inc. using silk threads from Needlepoint, Inc.  (DMC substitutions are listed in the directions.) 

The stitch count is 231 wide x 231 high.  The stitches used are backstitch, cross stitch, and four-sided stitch.  Stitch diagrams are provided. This sampler can be stitched on linen or aida.

I'll be sending the charts for my new designs to the shops on my automatic shipment program next week so if you're interested you can ask your favorite shop about this sampler and also Mini Quaker Samplings that I showed you yesterday.  The  shops on my automatic are marked on the shop page of my website.

I hope you're enjoying your weekend and can find some time to stitch, even if it is just for a little bit.

Hi, Ellen,
I stitched a reproduction sampler honoring Queen Charlotte, consort of George III, dated 1765 with that verse.
