The sampler has a central moral text in purple stitching, which is surrounded by floral, butterfly and crown decoration. At the bottom of the sampler are two human figures - a standing male, presumably a shepherd as he has sheep at his feet, as well as a woman seated holding a staff. There is a floral, rose shaped border. Made by Mary Grace, aged twelve in 1797."@en .
