An American sampler stitched with silk on homespun linen in a variety of stitches including cross, counted satin, freehand stem and satin, eyelet and split. Six rows of alphabets are surrounded by a beautifully executed floral cartouche. The sampler is signed at the bottom, and the date and her age (10 years) appear at the top.
