Sampler Exhibits
Article published on May 26, 2010 describing an exhibition at the Historic Odessa Foundation in Odessa, Delaware entitled “With Needle and Thread: Hand Sewing Before Machines”. The exhibit includes 85 objects and celebrates the art of hand sewing and needlework in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Two of the objects are schoolgirl embroideries, one a large c. 1810 embroidered silk memorial. Other needlework objects include an embroidered bonnet, a canvaswork wool wallet (c. 1775), pincushions, and needlework tools, all from the Delaware Valley. Visitors should also tour the historic homes, where there are many other historic samplers and needlework on display. For example, in the Corbit-Sharp House there are two beautiful samplers worked by sisters Sarah and Mary Corbit, both in 1823 at Westtown School. The sisters were nieces of Mr. Corbit and had lived in the house. In the David Wilson House is an exquisite silk on silk needle painting stitched by Ann Jeffries.
