Oh, I wish we had a chance to meet on...Hello Mary,<br /><br />Oh, I wish we had a chance to meet on Sunday, then you would have been able to see my interpretation of the Fruit and Flower design style sampler. I think your best bet to find out more information about your sampler would be through Barb Hutson as she is a sampler historian and has connections to others who research antique samplers, their origins and makers, etc. <br /><br />The sampler I used as the inspiration for mine was the Jane Wilson 1791 sampler, which is in the possession of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is the sampler on the bottom of the two I showed in this subject section. I do know that she lived in Mill Creek Hundred which is north west of Wilmington, DE. It seems that most of the samplers exhibiting the Fruit and Flower style were taught predominantly in the New Castle County area of Delaware. I am not a historian and, aside from my own on-line research, I can't tell you much more. As I said earlier, Barb Hutson is probably a much better source for the information you are seeking.<br /><br />On another note, if your have it uploaded to your computer, I'd love to see a picture of your sampler. <br /><br />Yours in friendship & stitches,<br /><br />TheresaTheresa M.

I was taking the class across the entrance from your class. After it, I spoke with Barbara Hutson and showed her a poor photo of my sampler which I am just finding out is a Delaware Fruit and Flowers design from 1798. I have been searching since I got home and just found your pictures of these two samplers. Mine also uses the phrase "anno dominI". Can you tell me who this teacher was and any other info that you might know of about the school? I will be getting in touch with Barbara and she is going to pass on to others the info about my sampler. Thank you, Mary SzewczykAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216542315958848182noreply@blogger.com
