Sue Studebaker. Softbound, 310 pages 8-1/2" x 11". One of the most intriguing cultural artifacts of our nation's past was made by young girls . . . the embroidery sampler. In this book, the author documents the samplers created in Ohio prior to 1850, the girls who made them, their families, and the teachers who taught them to stitch. Samplers serve as a tangible and enduring legacy of the Ohio country when it was the frontier of a fledgling nation. Lavishly illustrated, many in full color.
