This sampler was inspired from a quote by John Taylor, 1634 from the book; "Embroidery Motifs from Old Dutch Samplers", compiled by Albarta Meulenbelt-Nieuwburg.

"Flowers, plants, and fishes, beasts, birds, flies and bees,

Hills, dales, plants, pastures,skies, seas, rivers, trees,

There's nothing near at hand or farthest sought

But with the needle may be shaped and wrought."

John Taylor, 1634

This is quoted from "The Gift is small, the Love is Great" by Frederick S. Weiser.
