The illustrations, both color and black & white, are of excellent quality. I was able to actually see the stitching and, in many examples, could see whether the girl crossed her X’s in the same way and whether she used the vertical thread consistently. (And the examples showed that some were meticulous and some were sloppy, some planned beautifully, some put motifs where ever they fit.) The numbering of all illustrations allowed the reader to follow and find each example quickly. Many of the motifs included charts so that this book could be used to make a spot sampler. In fact, many of the photographed examples were so clear that they could be used as charts. There was an extensive bibliography and an excellent index of names as used on the samplers. Since the spelling was a bit “interesting,” looking up a name like Jaekel would necessitate also looking up Yeakle.
This book was a joy and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in regional samplers.… (meer)
