Type: Cross Stitch Patterns
The Temperance Movement of the early nineteenth century began in the United States prior to 1808. Preachers, most notably John Bartholomew Gough, promulgated a pledge of abstinence from members of his congregation. While temperance efforts have existed as long as spirits have, the movement was not as popular until this period of time, when the use/misuse of distilled beverages became more pervasive in society, affecting mostly women, as evidenced by the plaintive verse that Emma stitched on her sampler.
The crime of drunkenness dispels reason drowns memory diminishes thought distempers the body defaces beauty corrupts the blood, inflames the liver weakens the brain turns men into walking hospitals, causes internal, external and incurable wounds is a witch to the senses devil the soul a thief to the pocket the beggar's companion a wife's woe and children's sorrow makes man become worse than a beast a self murderer who drinks to other's good health and robs him self of his own. The root of all evil is drunkenness.
Stitches used are cross, over one and two threads of linen. On 30 count linen, the finished sampler, like the original, will measure 15 3/4" x 12 1/4". Stitch count is 235 x 14. It is recommended for beginning-level needleworkers.
