Such an amazing sampler!
A Dutch Beauty is the name for this wonderful sampler, made around 1790 by a 13 year old girl from the Low Countries. Only knowing her initials HVZ, we admire this embroidery on which she succeeded to bring alive 68 creatures with needle and thread.
Stitch count: 630w x 390h
DMC stranded cotton: 523, 612, 642, 927, 833, 842, 3012, 3021, 3023, 3782, 3768, 3726, 3052
