AMERICAN QUAKER BAND SAMPLER 1803 - The Scarlet Letter

Chart only $17.00

Stitch count: 90 x 245

“This is a classic example of an American sampler that has been strongly influenced by needlework design taught at Quaker schools. Likely, it was not actually worked at one of the Quaker schools that flourished from New York to Virginia, for over 200 years.

The linen is coarser than what the schools supplied, and the workmanship somewhat crude. However, the Roman style alphabets and partial floral/geometric medallions, definitely suggest Quaker influence”.

Stitches used are: cross, long-arm cross, eyelet and Queen.

Recommended for any skill level.
