Description
Emily Ann Stevens aged 9, stitched this rare sampler from a rural area in central New York State. Jordan is about 25 miles west of Syracuse. The sampler consists of a center hall house, a large basket of fruit, alphabets, and a charming verse. It is inscribed: EMILY ANN STEVENS/ AGED. 9.
