Ann Perrin 1841 by Jeannette Douglas Designs

A beautiful reproduction sampler from 1841. This one has a simpler border (if you're one who doesn't like massive borders!, as well as some interesting bands, motifs including a berry basket, flowering trees, birds, dogs and hearts. The verses say: "Let the sweet work of prayer and praise ... employ my youngest breath, thus I'm prepar'd for longer days or fit for early death." And "Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth."
