A darling American sampler from 1794. The lovely shades of blue and its pleasing composition make it so charming. Margret was 16 when she created her sampler - one year before she was married. The sampler's home is in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is fairly quick and easy to complete. The original was stitched on cotton gauze with silk threads and measured 7.75 inches wide by 10 inches high. Stitching on 40 count fabric is closest to the original size. Margret was born March 3rd, 1778 in Shrewsbury, Monmouth, New Jersey. Where she still was recorded living in 1784. She Married Brazilla Beals on Sep 21st, 1795 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
