JEAN WALKER 1812 by Needlemade Designs
Jean Walker 1812 (AKA Goosing Jamie)
A Scottish reproduction sampler with an especially delightful Scotsman in the lower left-hand corner. His jumping above of his blue slate roofed cottage just captivated me. I decided that in addition to the red and green tartan kilt I needed to approximate the Frasier tartan. The Frasier tartan and the cute geese that are each holding up a corner of the kilt led to the subtitle, Goosing Jamie.
The model is stitched on 40 count Hogbristle from Fox and Rabbit with the following AVAS 100/3 silks: 072, 080, 274 (2 spools on 40 count), 384 (2 spools on 40 count), 510, 523, 588, and 578. A DMC conversion is given. Specialty stitches used are Cross Stitch over one, Eyelet (stitch diagram included), and Satin Stitch.
