Modern Folk Embroidery - Rule of Life - Booklet Chart and/or Roxy Floss

For this sampler I settled on a quote by John Newbery, from his 1770 book of verse for children titled “A Little Pretty Pocket- Book”. The book is filled with little rhymes and life lessons. One of the “rules of life” reads as follows: “Bestow your alms whene’er you see – An object in necessity”. To me, it seemed very fitting for use on a Quaker style sampler. I chose to chart the lettering exactly as it appeared in the book, where the long S replaces the common S we are used to seeing nowadays. All letters on this sampler were inspired by actual 18th and 19th-century Quaker alphabet samplers.
