Provenance: Jane Hornibrook completed her sampler in March of 1806. She painstakingly stitched in cross stitch the tenets of the Catholic Faith over one and two threads of finely woven 52 count linen. The lettering for the large letters leads one to determine this to be of Irish origin, based on the Benezet alphabet (see the lettering of the words The Christian Faith). The creative and beautiful border is taken from the Benezet letter O.
