Melinda tells us "This sampler release is the culmination of nearly a year of research.
The sampler was originally stitched by Agnes herself. After her death
at age 18, one of her sisters turned it into a memorial, adding "died in
her 19 yer" and surrounding the sampler with black silk. This is the
first sampler I have ever seen that was stitched and then later turned
into a memorial after her death. I am attaching three photos of the
sampler."
