Description

Of all the known Juda Hayle school samplers, Mary Moyse’s is one of the most colorful, challenging, distinctive, and lovely. It is worked on a much finer linen than the three Juda Hayle samplers, and requires the use of more advanced stitches (see below). The trademark square cartouche at the bottom, and the learning verse appear on all Hayle school samplers.
