This is a sampler my Mother-In-Law made in an internment camp in Palestine in 1942. She was watching me stitching one day and showed it to me. She was going to throw it out. I grabbed it with both hands and said I would take great care of it. I had it framed for my husbands birthday a couple of years ago and it sits on our lounge room wall. I'm sorry about the shine of the glass but I think you can see it clearly. I just think this is an amazing piece of work for a ten year old little girl.

Oh my gosh! Thank heavens you rescued the sampler! Needlework like that, especially with its known, interesting history should always be preserved. It looks like you are taking excellent care of it. I had the same problem with my Grandma,she could never understand why I wanted to preserve what she called "her junk". lol
Good job!
