Note from designer: This sampler features the historic home surrounded by Southern Live Oak trees and sitting on the bank of Bayou Black. The border depicts delicate cotton blossoms, another major crop grown in Louisiana. My great grandfather and his 17 children were sharecroppers who picked cotton in south Louisiana during the depression. In the middle of the sampler is a Fleur De Lis representing Louisiana. There is a large cast iron sugar kettle that was used to boil the sugar can juice as part of the process of turning it into sugar. A band of sugar cane sits at the bottom of this sampler with the Southdown sheep grazing amongst them.

The model was stitched on 38 ct Eiderdown from Legacy linen in Eiderdown. Stitch count is 161 x 249.
