Embroidered Samplers, etc
163 Hannah Fielden sewed her Sampler when she was 12 years old in 1837 using some unusual features - such as her 'wider than normal' border which consists of a continuous trailing branch of realistic rosebuds. A morality rhyme is positioned between floral motifs, also worked to a more realistic design than the usual 'geometric' flowers found on Samplers. A house, with its brickwork cleverly delineated, is embroidered at the bottom - perhaps representing Hannah's home or school. A very attractive piece, worked in cross stitch, with a little tent stitch - in excellent condition, framed & glazed. A little research on the internet suggests that Hannah may have been born at Todmorden. £375
