29 Katharine Huston, 1811, Massachusetts This beautifully wrought sampler was worked predominantly in crinkled silk on a very dense khaki-colored linen and is signed: \g Katharine worked her shimmering flowers and thorny vines in the flat stitch and included three alphabets, inscription and verse in the cross stitch; the six deep pink hillocks across the bottom are also fully worked in the flat stitch. The floral border is quite similar to the work on many fine samplers that were made in eastern Massachusetts. The sampler is in excellent condition and has been conservation mounted into a fine tiger maple beveled frame. Sampler size: 17W' X 161j4'' Price: $3,250 M. Finkel & Daughter. DDDDDDDD
