Rectangular sampler on natural linen ground worked in dark blue, dark green, red, yellow, pink, light green, and white wool threads using cross and backstitches. Spot motifs are scattered across the surface of the sampler. The largest appears as two large initials "I S" in the top half of the embroidery which are filled with various patterns and colors and outlined in spirals. Between the two large initials is a large floral motif. Other spot motifs include a woman wearing a red and white dress with "IS" on either side, dogs, a windmill, a pillow, a chalice, the repeated initials "IS" at the lower left on either side of small "tree", "stick" figures on a ship, and many other unusual geometric forms. The edges appear to be turned under and hemmed, but unevenly on the right side, which is the only side that shows. The other three sides are covered with a straightcut tiger maple frame, not original to sampler.
