On March 12, 1904, E. B. finished her sampler, her final work in handicraft lessons. She must have been very proud at the time, because she embroidered her initials twice: "entwined" and placed at an angle and decorated.
A delicate row with eye stitches separates the alphabet from the saying and a thick border with star stitches "underlines" it: "Sich regen bringt Segen." / "Hard work pays off." No idleness, no laziness - that brings praise, reward, thanks and satisfaction - for many people a motto in life at that time.
Her sampler looks very calm and balanced, also due to the four different small borders that surround the piece.
