Samplers International * Benton County Museum, Oregon * Until 30 April 2011 & Catalogue

Thanks to generous support from the Sampler Consortium, Benton County Historical Society are exhibiting a collection of samplers stitched between 1747 and 2011 from around the world, including France - see the example above.
