Please note that the graph is printed in full color to make it much easier to do the counted satin filling stitches.

This finely stitched sampler has a multifloral border centering an alphabet and numerals in an unusual pyramidal configuration, a verse, and a scene executed in petit point, featuring a cozy cottage flanked by trees and oversized blossoms.

The verse was written by the anonymous woman, named "Mrs. Mary Masters" in 1755:

Tis religion that can give

Sweetest Pleasures while we live

Tis religion must supply

Solid comfort when we die

After death its joys will be

Lasting as eternity

Be the living god my friend

Then my bliss will never end
