I designed these two samplers to be a book cover for wedding keepsakes and special items you might put in a scrapbook. I stitched it for a very dear friend several years after I made the original one. She decided to cut the samplers apart and frame them in antique frames. She hung them side by side. They looked lovely! The first sampler is patterned after the very well known Mary Balch school which was in Providence, RI. The  second sampler is patterned after a simpler sampler design from New Hampshire.
