Christmas Sampler II 

This sampler, designed by Edna Medlin, reminds us of the old traditional Christmas carol, "The Holly and the Ivy," the last verse of which is:

    The holly and the ivy
    When they are both full grown
    Of all the trees that are in the wood,
    The holly bears the crown.

The model was stitched on 36 count Edinborough Antique White Linen using three shades of Waterlilies and five shades of au Ver a Soie silk threads, with an embellishment of beads. Stitch count is 161 wide x 228 high. When worked on 36 count linen, the design measures 8.9 inches wide by 12.7 inches high.
