12-Days of Christmas Giveaway - Day 3

Today's giveaway is a great one!  A book on samplers!  Who wouldn't want to get a yummy like this?  If you are interested in today's giveaway, send me an email at tricia@alum.mit.edu and include:

Subject Line:  A Schoolgirl's Work

Body of Message:  Your name and mailing address

Entries are accepted until Midnight EST on December 18th.  

Most of the samplers in this volume are American and for the Spencer Museum of Art.  It was written by Barb Adams and Alma Allen who are well known textile designers working mainly in quilt art and primitives, including embroidery.  They (and I) love the folk art feel of early American samplers like the one on the cover with the naive rendering of a basket of flowers.
