Red samplers are joyful, and blue add a little perfection. At the top are rows of various styles of alphabet letters followed by an array of motifs - including a striped tiger, dogs, birds, and small cat. Arma Christi, or Instruments of Passion are portrayed including Veronica's Veil, and a charming checkered cartouche surrounds the maker's initials and date - NPS
