...and stitching interest continues!!
A little bitty different today though...
...in that the next few photos are of someone else's stitching.
I have purchased a couple of samplers...
...the first one was stitched in 1740...
...by a girl from near Kirkudbright.
Stitched on a fairly coarse linen background...
...this would have been green and red when new...
...but the red has gone fugitive!
I do KNOW it was red though...
...because she used another thread to finish this bit...
...and the colour was more fast.
I have some research to do on her...
...and will report back in due course :-)
The second one hails from "here"....
...as in "locally".
Stitched in 1855 in Blaenavon...
...it is in a bit of a sad state in places...
...but has the most charming wee doggies!!
This, along with some others is destined to become a book of stitched "smalls"...
...I do loooooove "smalls"!!
Hope you are all safe and well
