I seem to remember that not all the samplers were on show due to lack of space. The money raised from the sale of the hand charted patterns goes to restoring the sampler collection. So even if you don't get round to doing the needlework you have helped to save another sampler.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06451507233079527070noreply@blogger.com
