The following photograph shows the Elizabeth Smith sampler dated 1762.  The original measures almost 8” wide by almost 11” high.  It is stitched on 40 count linen over 2 threads in Pearsall’s silks.  It is a unique opportunity to stitch this beautiful sampler and to learn of its history.  You will also have the opportunity to be able to see the original with a small group, which means that you can get very close to it, and it won’t be hidden behind glass!.
