| This Pennsylvania
sampler was stitched by Mary Corey in 1809. It’s hard to figure where she
started her stitching: top or bottom. It looks as though part of the alphabet
was removed to finish her flower motif. The alphabet and soft colors would
certainly lead us to believe it comes from a Quaker or Pennsylvania German
community.
Our reproduction was stitched on 32 count
Natural Lite linen from Wichelt Imports. After stitching, the sampler was
hand-dyed using walnut shells. Finished size on 32 count linen: 8 inches by 8 inches. |
