Inscribed: Eliza Colyer/ In Her 12 Year.
This small, charming, lavishly embroidered sampler is profuse with motifs featuring a girl at the top between two

found on samplers, Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand, As the first efforts of an infant hand - etc.
The sampler is in almost perfect condition, no little holes, no missing stitches, and good color. There is some
very slight darkening in the area of her inscription.
