This delightful design was created by a young girl named Melicent Turner in the year 1808. Nothing is known of the child however the sampler is believed to be American. The fabric she stitched with is loosely woven and very coarse indicating it is quite likely American. The thread in the design is silk and in some areas quite faded but still intact.
