Thank you so much to Julie Kursave for inviting me back to do another exclusive for the group!
And huge thanks to Jeannine (Acorns & Threads) and Julie (The Crewel Gobelin). If I lived a little closer to either shop, I’d love to help out with the kitting up /shipping of Sophia’s sampler…though I fear I’d be more of a hindrance than a help (too much chatting!). 😂

Thank you so much, Leslie! I just thought of it as 'one motif at a time'! But will admit that the border seemed to go on forever! 😉

Thank you for taking the time to chart this sampler and for all the incredible information you have shared with us! Such a heartwarming story. I love that you made a trip to her church and grave. I’ve been looking for a sampler with my married last name and when you posted this one to instagram I was overjoyed. She’s a beautiful sampler. Thank you for sharing her with us! ♥️

@WhilstIrisNaps 13 дней назад

It’s amazing that you and Sophia share a name! And both without an ‘e’ at the end of Neal! I hope you will enjoy stitching her sampler. 💗

@susiegarland3921 16 дней назад

@charlotteburkhardt4903 15 дней назад

So beautiful! Both your and Sophia’s stitching are so precise! In my advanced age, I can only admire that! Just love how you trace the original stitcher, it makes the sampler come to life. I would never be able to stitch Sophia, but, a copy of her may just have to live in my “Wish I Could” basket❤️

@WhilstIrisNaps 15 дней назад

It’s always lovely when one of your videos pops up. This is a beautiful sampler with such an interesting story. Your research along with your visit to Norfolk made this video so interesting. I would really love to buy this kit but my last order from Hobby House had an additional $30 shipping and then there was a £72 customs and admin charge on delivery. I have just kitted Mary Vallack and Flossy Jones, then I have Martha Martin and Mary Gipson on my wish list, followed by many others 😁 I think this will keep me going until this beauty hopefully becomes available on your website in a year or two. It’s a shame we can’t get the kit in the UK or just the pattern to kit ourselves. Thanks for sharing your beautiful needlework and another great video.

@WhilstIrisNaps 16 дней назад

Thank you for your kind words, Sylvia. ❤ I'm sure that I will release the chart at some point next year. I hope you enjoy stitching Mary and Flossy...and Martha and Mary Gypson in the meanwhile! 😉🥰

@shawnduray6297 16 дней назад

Oh my goodness, I thought of you just yesterday and here you are! Sophia's sampler is beautiful, and I admit I got all choked up when you said you spoke to her relative and visited her grave. Thank you so much for sharing her story! May we all be so lucky in the future with our stitch work. ♥

Oh, Christina! What a beautiful sampler with such a wonderful story to go with it! What a lovely gift from your children! I love all of the clues you were able to find with it, and that you got to speak with one of Sophia's descendants. How special for you! I know this original sampler has found a good and treasured home with you😊. Thanks for sharing it with us all!

@ginacates6110 15 дней назад

Such a beautiful sampler & a beautiful story of her life. I know there is a lot of samplers that you can't found information about them. Such a special story about her & being able to speak to her great great grandson. I wonder if any of her family members stitched!?! Thank you for sharing pictures of your trip, Sophia's birthplace & graveside. How sweet of you to leave flowers for her.

@WhilstIrisNaps 14 дней назад

thank you, Gina! 💗 Oh, wow, yes, I’d love to find samplers stitched by her sister, or her daughters! Can you imagine?! 😍🥰

@Linda-ts2xr 14 дней назад

Lucky for you there were clues behind the sampler. Great research & I hope someone in her family sees your reproduction & is inspired to stitch this beautiful sampler.

@jeancairns1825 16 дней назад

She’s absolutely beautiful Christina; what a wonderful gift to have received. Thank you for all the family information. It’s so hard for us as fanatical sampler lovers and stitchers to imagine why the family would want to let her go! I’m glad that she’s in your safe hands. Well done! (Is it likely that she will eventually come into general circulation once the exclusive is over? )

@WhilstIrisNaps 16 дней назад

@lilysmomma785 12 дней назад

What a beautiful sampler and a more touching story to go with it. I would adore stitching her one day, may have to get the kit and switch to a 46 count of sleeping bear. That exact fabric is my favorite, if I could only ever stitch on one fabric again, that would be it.

@WhilstIrisNaps 12 дней назад

Thank you so much! 🥰 The kit is available with 46ct Sleeping Bear! And I agree, it's a beautiful colour. But I love all of Rachel's fabrics! ❤

@aprilskyuk 15 дней назад

Christina, I really enjoyed learning about Sophia. I found it very sad though how in her family they kept naming their new children after those they had lost. It must have been a done thing of the time. 🤔 Wishing you the very best of luck with the release of your beautiful sampler 🌷

@WhilstIrisNaps 15 дней назад

It seems so unusual to us now, doesn't it? But I think it was common practice then. I'm not sure how I feel about it! Thank you for your kind words, Marianna. ❤

@ldrstitcher 7 дней назад

Thank you for sharing this beautiful reproduction sampler. I appreciate the attention and care you put into researching the girl and her family. What an accomplishment for an 8-year-old! You have made a beautiful tribute to her. I was wondering if the original sampler had cotton or silk threads. Sorry if I missed that in your video.

@WhilstIrisNaps 7 дней назад

Thank you so much for your kind words. ❤ It looks as though Sophia has used both wool & silk threads.
