Description
Mary Ann Frane 1796
Sassafras Samplers
Mary Ann Frane stitched a gorgeous sampler for us at the age of
8 in 1796. Mary Ann’s work features a rich, elegant design and
choice of colors, including hearts, strawberries, deer, and angels.
She also included a lovely morbidity verse, one which focuses
the reader on the immediacy of death and reminds the reader of
the need to live a virtuous life.
Mary Ann’s sampler contains cross stitch over 1 and 2 threads,
satin stitch, stem stitch, back stitch, and French knots. Stitch
diagrams and close-up images of her stitches are provided inside
the chart.
