This is an example of a marking sampler, usually one of the first pieces a girl did in preparation for her duties as a wife and mother. It taught her to stitch the alphabet so she could mark her family's linens with initials and the date. Marking linens allowed the woman to keep track of her linens. She could rotate them to prevent them wearing out and, should they be sent out for laundering, it would insure their prompt return. This adaptation was designed for the Nantucket Historical Association in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and is as close to the original as possible in color and design.
