This darning sampler of 1895 has been waiting for my attention to take its niche in my blog. It is a small one, the size is 24.5 cm x 26 cm.

Today, I also want to introduce you to two special ladies that I had the joy to meet online some years ago. I am sure you already know and admire them but I still want to make sure every visitor gets to learn of the beauties they offer!

I am sure these two specially talented ladies will keep you busy for a long while :)

Thank you for those links. I love antique samplers.

My favourites are Gigi's letters. Now I really want J for my name!

I am amazed at the skill and patience that must have gone into darning in pattern in those days.
