介绍（中）	这个令人愉悦的原始采样器，边框描绘了建筑物和树木，揭示了麦克法兰在 1820 年代长大的纽约州部分的视觉影响和宗教问题。采样器的成分和简单的蓝白调色板类似于纽约州织工在 1820 年至 1850 年间制作的流行编织被套。通常，被罩由靛蓝染色的深蓝色羊毛和天然棉制成，并且经常有装饰有重复的乡村房屋图案的边框。但是，这个采样器上描绘的建筑物的意义超越了年轻女孩对普通床罩上设计的模仿。缝在左下角的圣经经文讲述了审判日之后的时刻，那时被救赎的灵魂将从死里复活并"飞向最幸福的豪宅"。也许这里绣的房屋和教堂就是那些天堂般的住所。纽约州北部是十九世纪上半叶宗教复兴主义的中心;千禧年即将来临是许多定居在那里的福音派基督教团体的核心信仰之一。麦克法兰既练习了她的缝合，又在这个不寻常的采样器中表达了她的宗教信仰。
介绍（英）	This delightfully original sampler, with borders illustrating buildings and trees, reveals the visual influences and religious concerns of the part of New York State where McFarlan grew up in the 1820s. The sampler's composition and simple blue-and-white palette resemble the popular woven coverlets made by New York State weavers between 1820 and 1850. Typically, the coverlets were made of indigo-dyed dark blue wool and natural cotton and often had borders decoarted with repeating patterns of village houses. But the buildings pictured on this sampler have a meaning beyond a young girl's imitation of the designs found on a common bed covering. The Bible verse stitched in the lower left-hand corner speaks of the time after Judgment Day when redeemed souls will rise from the dead and "soar to the blest mansions." Perhaps the houses and church embroidered here are those heavenly abodes. Upstate New York was a center for religious revivalism in the first half of the nineteenth century; the imminent approach of the millennium was one of the beliefs central to many of the evangelical Christian groups that settled there. McFarlan both practiced her stitching and voiced her religious convictions in this unusual sampler.
