Doing some research on the website findagrave.com, this information was found ---
Lydia C. Stevenson 1851-1917 Millsboro, Delaware
The girl who made this sampler was 9 years old in 1860
The last 2 numbers of the exact year are not legible on the sampler
This sampler was p...urchased by someone in my family, about 50 years ago, in an antique shop, in a small town about 30 miles from Millsboro, Delaware
There are other Lydia C. Stevensons who were born in the 1800's, so I am not definite it is the woman living in Delaware, but it does help to date the sampler approximately.
The condition of this needlepoint sampler is very good. No fading, or tears. The background fabric does have staining from age. It is mounted under glass, which has protected the sampler. The white spot on the main photo, was caused by the camera flash.
The Birdseye maple frame appears to be of the same vintage time period as the sampler
The framed dimensions are, 20 1/2"h, 19 1/4" w
