Embroiderer of an exquisite sampler in our collection. I don’t know whether she was a professional miniaturist or simply a talented amateur, as I haven’t been able to find out any more about her. The fact that the sampler bears a printed label on the back does, however, suggest that she sold her work, and I’d love to know more if anyone has any information to help us out.
Here are the works by Janice in the Quartermaine Hall collection so far:
