NEEDLEWORK MARKETPLACE: Henrietta 1870 by Cross Stitch Antiques

From the designer —

This beautiful sampler contains thirteen alphabets and seven sets of numbers in the top portion and is full in every space in the lower section with many motifs, short segments of bands, and ten corner motifs making this sampler so very appealing to the eye and a joy to stitch. Henrietta added her name and the year 1870 but no last name. As it would happen, four girls with the first name of Henrietta were at the Bristol Orphanage in the year 1870. All four of the girls’ documentation is included in the chart.
