Samplers made in Ohio, once thought to be quite rare, are beginning to re-emerge, with recognisable stylistic features.

Gennett Clapp's sampler of 1839, made in Norwich, Ohio, is executed entirely in cross stitch, with an interesting variation: the elongated buildings are worked horizontally over two threads, and vertically over three threads of linen. On 30 count linen, the finished piece will measure approximately 19"x14", and is recommended for any level of needlework skill.

Kit contains fabric, silk or cotton floss, needle and instructions.
