A nearly 200 years old sampler, a real treasure! What patience the lady who embroidered this must have had to stitch the same names over and over again. It might have been Mrs. Benett – proud of her winning husband!
Good Heavens! I don’t know a thing. but politics and needlework – It must be an ancestor of mine. Even though I do not recognise the names. Enjoying your travels – may they long continue.
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
