Judith Hayle Sampler For Private Sale - Rebekah Readdin 1691

Rebekah Readdin's sampler of 1691 was stitched under the tutelage of famous needlework teacher, Judith - or Iudah - Hayle of Ipswich. It is one of the first known of this extant group of samplers and is very typical of the school with its rows of patterns following the repertoire of teaching, the working of alphabets in cross and Algerian-eye stitches in threads of alternating colours - and of course, the particular signature of the twin cartouches at the base. To the left are Rebekah's initials, the Rs confronting - and to the right are the intials of her teacher IH for Iudah Hayle. The sampler is fully described in Edwina Ehrman's The Judith Hayle Samplers. This is a five figure sterling sampler.
