MARY  MOYSE  1709
FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE
FITZWILLIAM MUSEUM
CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND
Of all the known Juda Hayle school samplers, Mary Moyse's is one of the most colorful, challenging, distinctive, and lovely. It is worked on a much finer linen than the three Juda Hayle samplers above, and requires the use of more advanced stitches (see below). The trademark square cartouche at the bottom, and the learning verse appear on all Hayle school samplers.
