Sampler with apocalyptic verse 1827 Ann McFarlan American This delightfully original sampler, with borders illustrating buildings and trees, reveals the visual influences and religious concerns of the part of New York State where McFarlan grew up in the 1820s. The sampler's composition and simple blue-and-white palette resemble the popular woven coverlets made by New York State weavers between 1820 and 1850. Typically, the coverlets were made of indigo-dyed dark blue wool and natural cotton and often had borders decoarted with repeating patterns of village houses. But the buildings pictured on this sampler have a meaning beyond a young girl's imitation of the designs found on a common bed covering. The Bible verse stitched in the lower left-hand corner speaks of the time after Judgment Day when redeemed souls will rise from the dead and "soar to the blest mansions." Perhaps the houses and church embroidered here are those heavenly abodes. Upstate New York was a center for religious rev
