A square cotton sampler features a grid of sixteen rectangular patches displaying diverse weaving and needlework techniques. Arranged in four rows, these patches showcase geometric patterns, stripes, and checks in muted red, light blue, and black against a cream ground. In the top row, a tan patch is embroidered with "CZ 1827." The textile is finished with a delicate lace border, and each patch exhibits a unique decorative motif or textural openwork style.
