About the Sampler from Nicola Parkman:
"When we reproduce samplers, we not only follow the path that the little girls’ needles and floss originally took but as we research the girls, we also follow a meandering thread back through time casting a light onto their lives.
Isabella and Ann are two very special samplers. They are special not only as they are very, very beautiful samplers but also because they were stitched by two sisters. Both the sisters were 10 years of age when they stitched their samplers, Isabella in 1829 and Ann 6 years later in 1835. As a collector sister samplers particularly fascinate me. I find it so remarkable that two samplers remain together through the centuries."

About the Sampler from Nicola Parkman:
"Hannah is most certainly a “bobby dazzler” of a sampler. The sampler catches and holds the eye. The young girl covered every inch of her linen, filling her sampler with carefully stitched motifs. The intricate outer border is one that we have not seen on a sampler before.
Hannah divided her sampler into three sections. The top section dominates with a stunning lozenge- shaped cartouche within which she has worked two alphabets and a set of numerals. The larger font appears on several Quaker samplers.
Hannah records on her sampler that she was from Ballypallady (sic). In Ireland counties are divided into civil parishes and parishes are further divided into townlands. Ballypalady Townland can be found in Ballymartin in the county of Antrim, Northern Ireland."
