This is the sixth release in the Antique Sampler of the Month series being released by Cross Stitch Antiques for 2021.
The Elizabeth and Sarah Chesters samplers are so very similar in design and motifs, must have been done
by relatives, sharing not only the same last name and year stitched but
also the same pattern, thread and linen colors.
At first thinking they perhaps were sisters, a search revealed the discovery that they most probably were mother and daughter. The mottos chosen on each are reflectively appropriate sentiments for a mother and child. It is a cheery thought to envision the pair stitching together, the daughter learning in imitation alongside her mum, while being given the freedom of her own creative expression.
