A large rectangle in the center contains rows of stitched letters and numbers in gold and black thread. The letters appear to be in alphabetical order, both uppercase and lowercase. The bottom section of the sampler depicts a pastoral scene with people and animals, including a man and woman, sheep, and a dog. Flowers and foliage are stitched around the edges of the sampler.
