(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jan Davey Ellis. Although the text is occasionally repetitive, this book offers a discussion of the ways that samplers were used by girls in early America for both sewing practice and educational purposes. Many of the illustrations resemble needlework. Only one of the many crafts that are included requires needle and thread; most of them involve making a facsimile of a sampler project out of paper. Patterns are included. Bib., ind.
