"272 Words"
A Bicentennial Sampler
Featuring The Full Text of The Gettysburg Address
Our largest design is a special sampler designed in honor of President Lincoln's Bicentennial Year. A set of 50 stars - one for each state ~ forms a border around the 272-word Gettysburg Address. The 20-page chart is coded in Gentle Art threads, with DMC equivalents. Stitched entirely with colors from The Gentle Art, the model is professionally framed by Where Victoria's Angels Stitch of Clifton, NJ.
Size: 349w x 375h
Fabric: 32-ct. Lambswool linen from Wichelt Imports
Thread: The Gentle Art
The evolution of this design was chronicled on a blog beginning in February 2009. Please visit The Making of An American Sampler for additional photos, updates and bicentennial essays. "272 Words" was released on November 19, 2009 to commemorate the 146th anniversary of The Gettysburg Address.
