Mary A Williams 1818 by Shakespeare's Peddler

I am so very proud of this reproduction, a beautiful recreation of Mary's original sampler from 1818. Stitch count is 288 by 304. Fabric is 40 count Brown Paper by Xjudesigns. Threads are Au ver a Soie Noir, 526, 1845, 2516, 2641, 2757, 3431, 3716, 3726, 3734, 3735 (2), 3744, 3745, 3812, 3814, 3815, 3831, 3833, 3846, 4066, 4231 (2), 4534, 5022, 5385, and Golden Squash Gloriana Silk. A DMC conversion is provided as a courtesy, and will yield similar, but slightly different results.
 
Verse:
 
Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain but A
Woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised
Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own
Works praise Her
 
This is almost 100% regular cross stitch (over-two). There are just a few over-one stitches (some bird legs, and the "th" in the date). Above the windows are some satin stitches. The chart includes commentary and a picture of the original sampler. Chart is in full color. This chart is also available as a download.
