Anna Funk Sampler Cross Stitch Pattern by Erica Michaels

150 years ago, in September of 1874, Anna Funk arrived in New York as part of a large and organized immigration of Mennonites from what is now Ukraine to the central plains of the United States. Her sampler of motifs, requested of her friends before her departure, is a small part of the larger story which also includes some personal connections to my own family. More details of Anna’s story are included in the chartpak and all proceeds go to the Mennonite Heritage and Agricultural Museum in Goessel, Kansas where the original sampler now resides. Bonus charts are included to compile a booklet of motif patterns similar to those her friends might have referenced when choosing motifs.

Stitch count: 165w x 125h
38 count Fuller’s Teazel linen from Access Commodities
(Comparable to DMC 612, or Parchment by Weeks Dye Works is an option

Thanks for looking! ✄ Happy Stitching!
