MARIE ABBOTT

circa 1680 This band sampler consists of sixteen horizontal and two vertical
pattern bands, as well as a section of spot embroidery, a verse and an alphabet. Worked on a long, narrow strip of plain weave linen with four hemmed edges, the sampler would be easy to roll, store, and transport and certainly survived in its present state due to the high quality of materials used as well as the fact that it was

never displayed. The verse is succinct: Have God in Minde.
