This is excellent reading for youth from age 10 through college. It is childlike and at the same time pretty sophisticated in design. Scientific method is logically employed, as well as explanations of trials in the process.. During her fourteen-year search, she has even tracked down a young Native American woman who made a sampler in Arkansas in 1828. Those bright long stitches at the top are something I've never seen before.
This is one of my all-time fave kind of books--a loving and detailed look at samplers from women and girls long gone but living on in their beautiful works. Despite the domestic nature of the craft, samplers were not made at home but were taught and made exclusively in private schools for girls.

The history of samplermaking in this country is inextricably tied to the history of women's education
