The original design was stitched on fabric that yielded 14 stitches to the inch. It measures 17-¾” wide by 16-¼” tall. I am recommending two different fabrics from Lakeside Linens. The first is a lighter color called Vintage Homespun. Use this if you want the sampler to have a new feel. The second is called Vintage Sand Dune which has an antique look to it and best represents how the sampler looks today. Both are available in 28 and 32 count.
