Marie Honorat 1820 by Gigi R

Marie was just 10 years old when she completed this big sampler. What a treasure! I can see her whimsy (and age) in the way she did her borders and motifs - really just stitching along, not worried about making it match necessarily, and enjoying where the needle took her.
