"As the life of a young girl unfolds before her, she is met with a variety of challenges and opportunities. There are many roles to be played, and many experiences for growth. It is in meeting these challenges that she develops qualities that earn her the title of woman.

This book is a collection of five samplers which focus on the talents of art, learning, compassion and spiritual insight. They seem to culminate in the fulfillment of the passing years and all are brought together as the last stitches bind accomplishments into a finished masterpiece."

The above is paraphrased form the forward in the book. The forward also mentions The Relief Society Monument to Women at Nauvoo, Illinois featuring statues designed by Dennis Smith and Florence Henderson. I did not include the full forward as it is six paragraphs long.

This book is gently used by my mom and myself. I remember scanning through this book as a teenager and picking a design or two to work. It holds cherished memories of lives well lived as well as being a piece of history for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Thank you for looking and happy stitching!
