Hannah Harding 1832 by Queenstown Sampler Designs

From the designer —

Hannah Harding embroidered a magnificent sampler when she was 14 years old. A pink cardinal, tweedy squirrels and butterflies adorn her sampler. There is a handsome parrot and two birds of peace. An astonishing flower basket along with sprigs of morning glories, bell flowers, tulips and more delightful floras. All framed by three different floral borders.

“Oh how happy are they
Whom the saviour obey
And have laidup their treasure above
Tongue can never express
The sweet comfort and peace
Of a soul in its earliest love”
