SP16 The Lord My Shepherd Is

Isaac Watts is the author of a great many sampler verses taken from his hymns during his lifetime when samplers were a very popular pastime (early to mid 1700's). I hope you enjoy this verse of his as much as I do!

Work the street scenes with one strand of Ginnie Thompson Flower Thread over two threads each way of 28 ct tan/unbleached linen. Work the verse with one thread in the needle and make each petit point stitch over just one thread intersection. Illustrations for petit point stitch are included.
