A Few More Samplers

 Years ago, I needlepointed this firescreen. The needlepoint kit was put out by The National Trust. They called this "Enchanting Garden." "This design, for a firescreen, is adapted from a firescreen in the drawing room at Packard House, Lapworth, Solihull, Warwickshire." National Trust (Enterprises) Limited.

 

This sampler from North Germany shows the year 1843. I found this pattern in a book titled, Alte Mustertucher. It was written by Angelika Walter. One reason I was attracted to stitch this sampler, was because it has a ship.

 

Psalm 1 King James Version (KJV)

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

² But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
⁴ The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
⁵ Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
⁶ For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
