Just released: Sarah Wrigley

While most schoolgirl-style red brick samplers were stitched by young children, Sarah was 21 years old when she completed this monumental piece. If you look closely at the bottom register, you will see it marks a tragic real-life romance. The precise completion date aligns exactly with the untimely death of John Wayte, the very first missionary to graduate from the local seminary. We believe Sarah poured her profound love and grief directly into these threads before leaving her life in England behind forever.
