Mary embroidered this beautiful sampler at
the age of ten, bearing tribute to her skill as well as that
of her teacher. The border is precisely arranged, the
stitching meticulously executed. The colors on the front of
the original sampler are as brilliant as those seen on our
reproduction, in a huge palette of color. The original
sampler was displayed in a 1998 exhibition at Witney
Antiques titled "How Fragrant the Rose". The sampler was formerly in the collection of
Carrie B. Neely, then the Museum of Science and Industry in
Chicago. The only stitch required to work this beautiful sampler is cross stitch. |
