A rectangular embroidery sample on brown-dotted dark velvet, with a silk floral design along the left side. A line of small white wing shapes runs up the left edge. To the right is a border of pointed foliage alternating in greens and oranges, with dark red veins, interspersed with clusters of small blue flowers and lacy pale pink and pale orange fronds. A spray of feathery silver-white flowers leans out to the right, on a long pink stem. Below, also leaning right on a short pink stem, is a conical flower in white and yellow, haloed with green and yellow French knots. The pattern repeats below this flower, with another feathery silver-white flower. The sample is surrounded by a cream-colored paper enclosure.

This rectangular embroidery sample has a design of flowers and foliage in a soft, muted color palette; the silk embroidery is lustrous and carefully stitched. The ground fabric is black velvet patterned with tiny green and purple dots. The textile is surrounded by a cream-colored paper enclosure. The left edge of the embroidery sample has a vertical band of pale blue and white. To the right is a vertical garland of tufts in mustard yellow and browns, facing down. Various short leafy green plants and small light blue flowers accent the right edge of the tufts. Anchored in this garland are two mixed bouquets, curved out to the right on the black velvet. The flowers of each bouquet are different, but arranged in similar positions; they are in shades of white and pale blue, with accents of brick red, yellow, and pale green. The upper bouquet has a rose-like flower on a crooked prickly stem, curved in to the left and overlapping the tufts. To the right is a large flower with a ring of circles at its center, fringed with spiky petals. Below is a small five-petal flower. Below and to the right is a drooping fluffy flower, like a thistle head. The lower bouquet has a frilled flower on a crooked prickly stem. To the right is a large bell-shaped flower, like a petunia, facing up and to the right. Below is a small five-petal flower. To the right is another petunia-like flower, facing down and to the right.

This rectangular embroidery sample on navy blue woven fabric features a design of flowers and feathers in cheerful multicolors. The textile is surrounded by a cream-colored paper enclosure. Along the left side of the sample run two vertical stripes, one light blue and white, the other alternating between white satin stitch and panels of French knots on the navy ground. To the right, arranged vertically, are four diagonal feathers, quill ends pointing down, alternating right and left. The feathers are striped sky blue, black, and white above the shaft, and shaded in white, mustard yellow, and coral red below. Both sides have a downy border in pale taupe along the bottom half. The feathers seem to float over a vertical band of greenery, small blue flowers, and the stems of floral bouquets. The bouquets curve out to the right on the navy ground. At the top, level with the first feather, is a group of three flowers with round petals and tall stamens. The flowers are embroidered in shades of teal, pink, yellow, white, and coral. Small sky blue and white flowers accent this arrangement. Below, level with the third feather, is a group of three cone-shaped flowers with round 'skirts' near the point of the cone. The cones are teal; the skirts are shaded yellow, coral, pink, and white, ringed with French knots. The same blue and white flowers flank the cone flowers. Below, the pattern repeats with the upper half of the first bouquet.

This rectangular embroidery sample has a floral design largely in white silk, on textured black fabric with narrow vertical blue-grey stripes. The textile is surrounded by a cream-colored paper enclosure. On the left edge is a vertical blue and white stripe with a vertical line of fringed white flowers to its right. To the right two large white flowers, stacked vertically, lean out to the right, with the same long heart-shaped white and pink leaves. Smaller acorn-shaped flowers fill in the space around the large flowers. The upper large flower is oval-shaped, lacy, and white, with a pale blue and coral red center, dotted with yellow French knots. A spray of small light green leaves backs the flower. Below is a cluster of six hanging white acorn-shaped flowers, the 'acorns' filled with French knots, the 'caps' accented with blue and red at their centers. These flowers lead down to the second large white flower, like an oval-shaped firework. The center is pale blue and green accented with a red ring, circled by white and yellow five-petalled flowers, and finished with a lacy fringe. The same spray of small light green leaves backs this flower. Below, the caps of the two uppermost acorn-flowers repeat.

This rectangular embroidery sample on purple-dotted dark velvet has a repeating silk floral design along its left side. A border of small white and pink tulip-shaped flowers runs up the left edge. To the right, a line of four narrow heart-shaped brown leaves point down. A large teardrop-shaped cluster of flowers leans out to the right. The center of the flower spike is light green, accented with red and yellow ovals surrounding the stem, with green tendrils between the pink and brown bell-shaped flowers. Below, facing right, a pink rose blooms, surrounded by green rose leaves above, three feathery bright green leaves above round blue berries to the right, and a cluster of three narrow heart-shaped brown leaves below. Below the rose the pattern repeats, showing three heart-shaped brown leaves, the teardrop-shaped head of pink flowers, the green rose leaves, and a bright green feathery leaf with blue berries. The textile is surrounded by a cream-colored paper enclosure.
