SS Harris is Sarah Sylyina Harris who stitched her sampler in the thirteenth year of her life. With no year and no place provided it is difficult to find out more about her. What we do know from the way she carried her thread and misspelled a word or two, perhaps even her middle name, is that she was not so serious about perfection. The whimsical motifs, including the heart in hand motifs, not commonly seen on samplers, bright colors and plentiful pots of flowers on her sampler make it clear Sarah had a bright spirit, despite the somewhat dreary verse common to the times. We hope she indeed met her man and found love, happiness and a long life.
