Mary Bate 1796
VERSE:
THE human soul without Education
is like marble in the quarry which shows
none of its inherent beauties until
the skil of the polisher fethes out
the colours makes the surface shine
and discovers every ornamental cloudy
spot and vein that runs through the
body of it Education after the same
manner when it works upon the mind
draws out to view every latent virtue
and perfection which without such
helps are never able to make their
appearance
Keep such Company as you may im
prove or that may improve you and
if you or your Companions cannot
make one another better rather leave
than grow worse by them
MARY BATE
Her Work In The Year Of
Our Lord 1796 B Oct 29 83

Eleanor Hawkesford 1838
VERSE:
Lord Jesus guide me day by day
And lead me in thyself thy ways
Preserve me from each dangerous snare
And make me thy peculiar care
Thy wisdom gracious Lord impart
And take possession of my heart
Work in me all thy sovereign will
And guide me safe to Zion's Hill
Eleanor Hawkesford
Her Work Aged 11 years 1833
Ann Womack 1838
VERSE:
Time is always moving on,Voting will close June 29th in the evening.
Time, we soon may say is gone,
Time, is fleeting, and we know,
Time, at last, will disappear.
Ann Womack, Aged 8 Years
1838
By the way, voting for one sampler does NOT mean that I won't reproduce the other two. I am just trying to decide ... what's next! Thanks for your help.

I love all of them but I am most interested in stitching Ann Womack.
Tough choice. I like Ann Womack because of the cute brown dogs at the bottom, and they remind me of my dogs! But I like the verse on Mary Bate and the fact that it is an older sampler. Can't decide!
I like them all but Eleanor is my favorite because it is just beautifully different.

Ann Womack !!! Love it !!
Eleanor Hawkesford...They are all gorgeous in their own way, but the floral swag in Eleanor's just draws me right into the verse. All winners! Enjoy the process!
Since I just turned 60 years young yesterday, the verse in Ann Womack struck a chord -- she gets my vote!
