T.S. made this mending sampler in 1887. In the left corner the colors have bled a bit. Some of my samplers are more than 100 years old and still in a good condition. Time has been good on them.

Dat is toch bijna kunst. Mooi om zo'n lapje in handen te hebben
Prachtig!! Mooie bij je verzameling,..
Wat weer een mooi lapje. Het verbaast me dat er zoveel bewaard is gebleven. Fijn voor jou! Groetjes Wilma
een aanwinst!!!
liefs, Syl
Prachtig vind ik hem maar ik ben dan ook dol op stop of rijglapjes.
Ja, wat is doorstopwerk toch leuk hè.
Ik heb het zelf nog nooit gedaan, maar ben daarom nog steeds van plan om aan de Blanche de Valck te beginnen... even nog moed (en het goede borduurlinnen) verzamelen.
Considering it is 128 years old I would say it is in excellent condition. I hope it didn't bleed until it left the maker's hands. She probably left strict, "do not wash" instructions, which were then lost or ignored.
So would this have been used as a sampler of how to repair the different weaves of woolens? If so, in America, TS might have been a man, since re-weaving was typically a tailor's job, and professional tailors were nearly always men.
Thanks for sharing,

@Very interesting to hear Susan.
This was part of what schoolgirls after 1880 were supposed to learn at school at a young age.
Mooi kostbaar bezit.
