| Southern Decorative Needlework (5802 words) |
 | Needlework was an acceptable area in which they could allow their fancies to roam and could also work to achieve perfection (Lebsock 43). |
| Another explanation of damage to some southern needlework is the fact that many examples are in the hands of private owners or in the care of small societies or museums without specific conservation training in the care of textile artifacts. |
| Many samplers and other objects of northern decorated needlework early found their way into museums and thus have enjoyed better preservation than their southern counterparts, which are still largely in the loving but occasionally faulty hands of the family or the small, unaccredited museum. |
