SAMPLER WROUGHT BY ELIZABETH COOKS AGED 7 YEARS: This a very tender age to be capable of such fine needlework. What makes this sampler unique is the fact that Jane cut out the date, which is often done when the child is older and does not want to reveal her age. The most often method used was to pull out some of the stitches of the year in which the sampler was wrought. Worked in silk thread in just about every color. Upper portion worked in upper case alphabet and one row of numbers from 1 to 22. Two rows of upper case alphabet worked in algerian eye. Several ornate dividing lines through the central section with pious verse '' Give God thy Great Creator homage due consider first thy Business then pursue, Converse with honest Men let such be dear, And self conceitedness in naught appear''. Flowering plants on each side, all enclosed in a truncated variated border including various flowers and 8 point stars. There is one small section below the pine tree on the right with background thread loss, also a small section in the upper central section near a dividing line. Slight loss of fabric on left edge of sampler. For stabilization the sampler has been sparingly stitched to a background fabric. Framed under glass, the frame is 22 1/2'' x 18'' 1/2''. Needlework is 17'' x 13''. | 700 |
