Maria Selby Humphrey - 1831, Blackbird Designs

Maria Humphrey was just a young girl when she stitched this sampler. Little did this 13-year-old know her work would provide inspiration to cross stitch lovers more than 100 years later.

We have included the chart needed to reproduce Maria's lovely sampler and added a darling little drum pinkeep as well. We hope you enjoy stitching these sweet little Projects!
