| This sweet sampler was stitched in England by a eleven year old girl, whose naiveté is evident in the simple format. The border consists of lollipop-shaped generic posies, surrounding large alphabetic tests worked in rice stitch, and a solidly stitched pastoral scene in the lower third, with the small figures of a man and a woman on the lawn in front of a country cottage. Stitched with a palette of 18 different colors, the sampler requires only cross and rice stitches to complete. |
