A needlework sampler is a piece of embroidery or cross-stitching produced as a 'specimen of achievement',[1] demonstration or a test of skill in needlework.[2][3] It often includes the alphabet, figures, motifs, decorative borders and sometimes the name of the person who embroidered it and the date. The word sampler is derived from the Latin exemplum, which means 'example'.[4]
