The antique Ann Wilson 1801 sampler was stitched on 30-count gauze-like linen with a slightly mottled gold look. I believe that there are several linen options in a variety of sizes that would work well for the reproduction. I've designed a Quaker Sewing Case & Accessories Teaching Project and am using Needle & Flax Dirty Teacup for the models.
The booklet includes the beautiful sampler which is affiliated with Westtown School, Ann's Story, and a self-lined needlebook I designed using two of the motifs from Ann's sampler.
