My EGA magazine (September 2024 issue) arrived today, and I see Linda M from ANG’s New Jersey Needle Artists Chapter and EGA’s Skylands Stitchers Chapter wrote an article, Rosena Disery 1820: An Important Artifact of Black History which is all about Rosena’s sampler.
Linda stitched the reproduction piece. The over 200 year old original is too delicate, so the reproduction will be available for loans to other institutions. A second reproduction piece will be installed at NYHS’s DiMenna Children’s History Museum.
I’ve been fortunate to see it in person as she worked on it and when it was finished. Recently, I heard her give a talk on it too.
Congratulations, Linda, on your contribution to the history of the artifact and an excellent article.
