Chapter 11- The Contest

Chapter Review-
Betsy is Highly distraught. She learns that the fair is 4 moths away. Betsy is concerned that she will not be able to compete with her handiwork against other women who are not Quakers unless she can convince her parents to make a large sampler. She has an idea of weaving a bible verse into her work. According to the Quaker religion it is important to keep the word of the lord in front of you.

What we will learn about from this chapter-
