Brenda says: "Lastly, an antique reproduction sampler - Mary Ann Copp, 1839. It is a beautiful sampler with a stately brick house complete with a brick/iron fence upon a brick wall. The basket above the house is simply gorgeous. The sampler did come with some history, and it was interesting to learn that Mary was described as living in a brickyard in Jersey Channel Islands. The Copp family was a well-known name in the brick business. There will be a bit of history write-up included in the chart.

Stitch count: 252 wide X 288 high.  Finished size: 14 wide X 16 high.

The model was stitched on 36 count American Chestnut hand dyed linen from R&R Reproductions using a combination of DMC floss and hand dyed cotton floss.
