Fanny Covell worked her exquisite sampler in her 8th year. It has gorgeous colours, gardens, birds and butterfies. In the centre cartouche Fanny wrought:

"All you my friends who now expect to see
A piece of work thus performed by me
Cast But a smile on this mean indeavour
ill strive to mend and Bee obedient ever"

Any level sampler enthusiast should enjoy finishing this sampler.
