AMANDA JEWEL
1816 |
|
This sampler was made in St. Albans,
Vermont. A naturalistic four-sided floral border surrounds a
central reserve with alphabets and a pictorial scene. The house
is so distinctive that it is probably a depiction of Amanda's
own home. Made under the tutelage of B. Samson, the sampler makes
use of a variety of stitches listed below. The brickwork of the
house is stitched with a combination of regular and narrow (horizontal)
cross stitches, resulting in an interesting visual effect. |
