One of the Museum's volunteers is working with our sampler collection today! While analyzing the collection our volunteer asked why the dates are noted in numbers. Quakers did not use the names of days and months in the year associated with pagan gods (Sunday-Monday and January-August). Instead, they would use numbers such as in one of the samplers below "6th of the 2nd mo. 1826"
