The piece is inspired by the 17th century sampler worked by Mehitable Payson between 1698-1706 in Massachusetts. The piece features many fragments of double running bands, satin stitch bands and reversible counted work as well as some lovely needlelace bands. This sampler is more of a sampler than others with different patterns in the same horizontal band. I have chosen some of my favorite to produce a small sampler to introduce the cutwork techniques. The sampler is worked in Soie Paris silk and linen thread for the cutwork, like the original.
