Mary Hunter 1884: A Sampler Primer Bower Birds the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting PoolThroughout history samplers were used as a learning tool for young girls at day and boarding schools. Early samplers were long and narrow. The stitched patterns were worked in crosswise bands and intended to be kept in a workbasket as a pattern reference when a decorative stitch or lettering was needed for household marking. This type of work, referred to as a band sampler, was made throughout England, Europe and the American Colonies. Mary Hunter
