Many thanks Ally. Thank you for watching!

Beautiful! I would have liked to see the back, too. (I know that’s an impossible request.)

[@ArnoldsAttic]

I understand. The back of work is always interesting and has the original yarn colours :)

Can you help me find out about a nice piece I have

[@ArnoldsAttic]

Thank you for your comment.
I'm a hand embroiderer myself and enjoy looking at samplers for inspiration, that's where my knowledge ends. You might be find better advice via a textiles museum. Thank you again for watching and please feel free to share the Needlework Sampler UA-cam.

How rich were these girls to have money for fabric and notions to make samplers?

[@ArnoldsAttic]

Very wealthy indeed. Some of the pieces were created in charitable educational institutions too.
