A Christmas Sampler Inspired by Early American Needlework
“Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” — Isaiah 9:6
Inspired by the schoolgirl samplers of the early nineteenth century, Unto Us a Child Is Born brings together traditional alphabets, decorative borders, and floral motifs surrounding the beautiful words of Isaiah 9:6.
Worked entirely in a rich Christmas red, this sampler recalls the needlework of generations past while celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The design includes the name Patsy Blevins and the date 1815, giving it the appearance of an early American sampler.
This is a lovely piece to stitch for Christmas, but it certainly doesn't need to be put away when the season ends. The birth of Christ is worth remembering and celebrating all year long. Whether displayed in your own home or stitched as a gift for someone special, I hope this sampler will become a treasured part of your Christmas traditions.
