Long Sampler by Mary: Rectangular piece of off-white fabric with intricate stitching and patterns. The top section features a symmetrical design with flowers in shades of pink, blue, yellow, and green, surrounded by geometric shapes and leaves. Below this, a repeating pattern of flowers and leaves in various colors. The middle section has a row of four rounded squares with floral designs, and another row with a repeating pattern of flowers, leaves, and geometric shapes. The bottom section features a large floral design with pink and green flowers, and a row of text in blue and red stitching that reads: "WELL GROWN IN GRACE WELL LEARNED AND WELL TAUGHT BY FAITH AND GOOD WORKS IS SALVATION WROUGHT." The fabric has a slightly frayed edge at the bottom.
