Counted Cross Stitch pattern, Elizabeth Stephenson 1854. Hands Across the Sea 2025 Queen of the May!
Elizabeth finished her stunning sampler on Wednesday, February 1, in the year 1854. The sampler would have been worked as part of her education. It would have taken many hours to complete and is an amazing achievement. A bobby dazzler of a sampler! Elizabeth created a cohesive, engaging, and visually balanced sampler. The sampler draws the viewer’s eye.
Regrettably, Elizabeth did not record her age or a location on her sampler; without this information we could not identify our Elizabeth as there were numerous girls of that name born in the 1840s. We do know that Elizabeth was born in the very early years of the Victorian era. This was a time of strict social structure, traditional gender roles, and rigid expectations, particularly for women and young girls. A Victorian girl’s life was largely shaped by her family’s social class, but across all classes, she was expected to be modest, obedient, and well-mannered. Her upbringing revolved around domestic skills, education, and preparation for marriage and motherhood.
While wealthy girls were groomed for lives of refinement and marriage, working-class girls often faced hard labor and limited opportunities. Regardless of status, most Victorian girls grew up in a world that emphasized obedience, modesty, and domestic skills over personal ambition or independence. Though their experiences varied, they all lived under the rigid expectations of a society that saw their primary role as future wives and mothers.
We hope that Elizabeth led a happy and fulfilling life and that she continued to create beautiful needlework.
Elizabeth’s beautiful sampler has been reproduced using a palette of 22 colours carefully matched to the colours found on the front of the sampler. The model was stitched using Soie 100.3 from Au Ver à Soie, and we have included below conversions for Soie d’Alger (SDA) and DMC.
The sampler is executed with cross stitches laid over two threads of linen. There are a small number of cross stitches that Elizabeth “squeezed in”, and these are laid 2 threads wide and one thread wide. The sampler is suitable for needleworkers of all levels of ability.

The design area is 333 stitches (w) x 321 stitches (h). Our calculations have included a 3" margin for finishing and framing. The model was stitched on linen overdyed by Tabby Cat Linen to the shade Just the Ticket.
