Description
This delightfully unique sampler, with borders illustrating buildings and trees, reveals the visual influences and religious concerns of the part of New York State where McFarlan grew up in the 1820s. Ann did both, she practiced her stitching to perfection for her young age and also voiced her religious convictions in this more than unusual sampler. She also died at a fairly young age.

Design Area: 387 W x 316 H stitches The model was stitched on 36ct cream or antique white linen.
This is a rather large sampler and the original fabric was not woven as even as our fabrics are today.
