This example, displaying the distinctive signature cartouches and bands and text from a shared repertoire, is a 12th.
A candidate for the stitching of this sampler is Martha, daughter of Edmond and Hannah Cousin of Brantham, Suffolk, who would have been around 10 when she dated her sampler on August The 39 1696.
