Pattern based on a Swedish sampler marked AEWS NWS AIW SMMB 1783.
Apart from the initials, nothing is known about who embroidered the sampler or where it's from.
The embroidery features a charming alphabet where the embroiderer ran out of space and had to continue the letters on another row.
The piece also includes four simple borders, a dog, flowers, and several different crowns.
Embroidered on white or unbleached linen or Aida using full cross stitches in 11 colors.
Stitched over 2 with 2 threads.
