About MeThis sampler was sewn by Ann Stopforth aged 12.

Religious verses often appear on samplers warning about the dangers of sins like pride and encouraging girls to develop a strong moral character.

There are spot motifs sewn on the lower section of this sampler including a sailing boat, angel, cornucopia, cat, deer, dovecot, tulip and birds.
