Cross stitch pattern from Hands Across the Sea Samplers. Anne's beautiful Welsh sampler is a delight for the eye! At the age of fifteen years old, Anne finished this design. Executed in thirty-seven different colors, the scene she diligently stitched is contained within four sumptuous garlands laden with flowers which include Bourbon roses, auriculas, irises, campions and ragged robins. An inquisitive pigeon, head cocked, perches on the bough of a flowering Prunus tree. Stitch count 264W x 317H.
