ELIZ COX 1838 by The Scarlet Letter

Stitches used are cross over one and two threads of linen (over one only in the verse), counted satin, stem, long and short stitches, French knots, and back stitch. (Original antique is in first picture).
 
Marsha has been reproducing samplers longer than pretty much anyone.  I was lucky to tour her farmstead back in the 90s, and it continues to be a memorable day.  Her reproduction charts are thorough, and come with stitch diagrams.  Please know that many of them are hand-drawn charts, but they are easy to read, and so, so fun to stitch!
