Sarah's early Newbury sampler exhibits various carry-over designs from the 17th century such as the carnations and large floral bands. The leaping deer being chased by a spotted dog are found on early Boston samplers as well as the trefoil band and border. The large free-style basket of flowers and fruit trees, and the three-sided border with the dominate vignette at the bottom are Newbury designs characteristics that prevail in later Newbury and Newburyport samplers.
