Sampler c. 1939

This sampler, created by Edna C. Rex in 1939, is a traditional example of needlework art. The piece features a green background with white and yellow thread embroidery of the alphabet, numbers, and a short inscription. Samplers like this were often created by young women to demonstrate their sewing skills and were a common practice for teaching embroidery techniques. This piece, though created nearly a century ago, still demonstrates the enduring beauty of needlework and its place in the history of art.
