An Antique reproduction pink house sampler.

This lovely - quite late - antique English sampler is so pleasing with its symmetry and familiar motifs. I particularly loved recreating the look of pink bricks, making each look different through the use of softly variegated thread. The original stitcher's initials are the same as two of my beloved aunts, so I kept them - but it would be very simple to add your own initials and a significant date to yours.

Stitched 1 over 2 using full crosses only & framed in a standard 8x10-inch frame. Black and white chart with colour cover. DMC conversion provided.

Floss used: Classic Colourworks: 192 Caterpillar & 228 Licorice Red. Weeks Dye Works: 1333 Lancaster Red, 2254 Cinnabar, 1123 Cornsilk, 1094 Linen & 2197 Oscar (2 skeins may be needed).
Fabric: 36-count 'Bush Tea' by JaysXStitch (similar colour to Zweigart's 'Antique Ivory'). Any warm neutral will do.
