AVAS versus DMC

Miss Mary Ann Bournes 1791 Hands Across The Sea Samplers

Many stitchers are now kitting up Miss Mary Ann Bournes 1791 and although the model was stitched with AVAS on Lakeside Linen Sand Dune she will look just as beautiful stitched in DMC.

 

We thought it would help in deciding if we showed the model with the DMC colours laid over.

  1. I can see where the DMC thread matches, I just can’t find where the bright yellow is?!
    but it’s just as beautiful !

  2. i am so happy to have found your site — i love the old samplers and have rekindled my embroidery handwork — not done since my youth.

      I have been looking out for “THE” right Cornish sampler for sometime and at the end of last year found a beauty. It has been charted and is in a queue to be model stitched. We are hoping the chart will be available towards the end of this year if not a little sooner.

      Best wishes

      Nicola
