We are pleased to present to you Maria Ewin – our Queen of the May for the year 2023. - Hands Across the Sea Samplers. Maria Ewin was love at first sight. She arrived in February 2021 and brought sunshine on a cold winter’s day. Maria was an excellent stitcher. Her execution was precise and accurate. It amazes me that at the young age of 11 Maria took such great care with her work. My impression of Maria is that she was a very organized and disciplined girl. She shows great attention to detail in the way that she matched her top and bottom borders and then also matched her side borders with perfect symmetry - Hands Across the Sea Samplers.
The design area is 271 stitches (w) x 329 stitches (h). Our calculations have included a 3″ margin for finishing and framing. The model was stitched on 46ct linen overdyed by Fiber on a Whim to a shade of Parchment.
