Presenting the kit for Susan Little 1844

Susan Little 1844 is a reproduction sampler from the studio of NeedleWork Press. It features two beautiful birds flanking a rose, along with smaller birds and flowers, two maidens, hearts and trees, butterflies, and a charming berry basket. The sampler is finished with a truly distinctive border - a wandering floral design that adds movement and character to the piece. The model was stitched on 40 count Valley Forge linen using Belle Soie silks.

You have your choice of an over one verse or an over two verse:

Over one option: Tis a point I long to know, oft it causes anxious thought. Do I love the Lord or no, Am I his or am I not? Susan Little, Aged 8 years, 1844

On Aida or over two on linen option: Never defer that till tomorrow which can be performed today. Susan Little, Aged 8 years, 1844
