Catharine Elizabeth Corse Sampler 1848 Pattern PDF one color embroidery At just 12" × 12"A Brooklyn Girl's Extraordinary Sampler In 1848, nine year old Catharine Elizabeth Corse picked up her needle in New York City and created something truly remarkable. The first New York City sampler in our collection, Catharine was a true Brooklyn girl; born, married, raised four children, and spent her entire life in New York until her passing in 1907. What makes this sampler particularly special is its use of perforated paper rather than linen.
