This is our Gallery of completed Scarlet Letter samplers. Many were stitched in 2013 to celebrate Nicola's Scarlet Letter Year but some were stitched before the challenge started. Our target is to eventually have at least one finish for every Scarlet Letter Sampler charted, over 400 designs!

Oval Silkwork Picture
The Oval Silkwork Picture
The picture shown at the bottom of this post is of the original eighteenth
century silkwork piece which had a painted face, hair and hands.
Stitches used to complete the embroidery included satin stitch and
stem filling stitches.
Marsha Parker purchased the
original embroidery from a seller in Witney, Oxfordshire in the late
1980's.
She reproduced the outline features of the design and
had them silk screened onto linen pieces, approximately 18" x
18" in size. Her sister completed each reproduction
piece of linen by handpainting in the facial features, hair colour
and hands to resemble the original stitched picture.
