LUCRETIA MAUS 1832 |
|
From the genealogical information supplied
by the owner of this sampler, we assume that it was made in Connecticut,
although stylistically it is difficult to determine its exact
origin, apart from New England. A four-sided border of cross
and queen-stitched strawberries surrounds a rather chaotic inner
register mixing alphabets, spot motifs, and a house with a cloud
bank, sun/moon and stars in it. Some beading was used which was
on the original sampler. Turquoise glass beads are supplied with
the kit. |
