Description
From Dover, Massachusetts, comes Harriot Boardman’s sampler, originally worked on a distinctive green linsey-woolsey found only on some North Shore samplers. A three-sided sawtooth border surrounds alphabet and numeral tests with geometric cross bands, two deer with curiously short legs, and a pot of springing daisies below.
