I just love the sampler being that I'm addicted to stitching samplers but have never been able to find any antique ones in my area that I could afford. They seem to range from the $400 to $2500 in this area so way outside my budget. And the coverlet is just amazing! I have just started to collect them (4 that I got at estate sales) so I'm still learning about them. I have mine stacked on a bench at the end of my bed for now. I hope as my collection grows it will "require" a pie safe to display them in. ;) <br />DonnaDirty Martini Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722749061096190920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2152445760250905472.post-61362295728448628772014-01-22T07:02:11.039-05:002014-01-22T07:02:11.039-05:00Amy, you are more than fortunate to have found suc...Amy, you are more than fortunate to have found such lovely samplers.

I don't remember the date that they started using it. Something about the letter J was interchanged with the letter I , I think. See I have all of this useful information and can't remember half of it! Anyhow check that out and see if you find out anything.<br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036659553397742862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2152445760250905472.post-76121543156360711692014-01-16T20:42:30.133-05:002014-01-16T20:42:30.133-05:00Hi, Amy, what wonderful treasure you have found. ...Hi, Amy, what wonderful treasure you have found. I love them both, and definitely keep the coverlet. I see the name on the coverlet, does it have a place listed? I have lots of book on antique samplers, I will look and see if I can find those alphabets. What unusual names, I don't know where you live, but I see there is a crown and deer on the sampler.<br />MelindaMerry Wind Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693488571364309791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2152445760250905472.post-69878823674140682612014-01-16T19:22:14.483-05:002014-01-16T19:22:14.483-05:00I'm not an expert on samplers, but it should b...I'm not an expert on samplers, but it should be either stitched on silk or linen.

If so, maybe check with the local historical society? Value? Hard to say. I've gotten an antique sampler for under $100 but is not dated with names. Many samplers I see are in the $400-$700 range. Those without damage can be much more.<br />Oh, keep the coverlet piece. They are wonderful draped over an antique cupboard door or chair.<br />Hugs :)<br />LaurenRugs and Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084387971128823025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2152445760250905472.post-35126846242654436682014-01-16T14:36:32.048-05:002014-01-16T14:36:32.048-05:00I'M of no help...but I can tell you those sure...I'M of no help...but I can tell you those surely are GORGEOUS TREASURES you have found...and things like that are harder and harder to come by...have a great evening.Hugs lil raggedyLil Raggedy Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786536588187440480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2152445760250905472.post-50613602879872004442014-01-16T10:46:54.717-05:002014-01-16T10:46:54.717-05:00So tickled for you my friend !!!

The coverlet is nice maybe hung on a blanket crane. I would not try to wash it or anything. Two great pieces of local history.<br />Have a great day~hugs~ JeanJean Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102914981009699550noreply@blogger.com
