<p>[QUOTE="Msalicia, post: 2327731, member: 13664"]IMO- it is a combo of cross stitching (meaning some X stitches) and needlepoint stitches (bottom row left to top row right) or vise versa depending on preference. She has both plus if looked at carefully probably several different types of needle working stitching depending where the letters went she did what made it look right to her. The backing is not monks cloth or burlap. I do think it’s woven linen or a linen content. I do think the thread is natural vegetable Dyed. Maybe from the same fabric as the backing unwoven and dyed. Might have been a piece of clothing that was thread bare in spots and repurposed. I’m not a professional in sampler work. But You may want to google “ Thread arts in 1833”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
