For your consideration, an antique framed needlework sampler featuring a Bible verse and a poem/prayer, with flowers and a decorative border.The script reads,
‘For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Hebrews chapter 13, verse 14.’
‘Jesus, permit thy gracious name to stand, as the first effort of a youthful hand. And while her fingers on the canvas move, Engage her tender thoughts to seek thy love, With thy dear children let her have a part, And write thy name, thyself, upon my heart.’
Mary Stoddart, Aged 13 Years. May 1st, 1843This was most likely a “presentation sampler” gifted to her family. This particular verse/poem connects Christian piety with the act of embroidery. This sampler is a recent estate find and being sold as found. Any questions feel free to ask. I package all items as carefully as possible and I ship ASAP. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
