<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 190574, member: 649&quot;]I&#039;m hoping to gain a better understanding of this sampler. Of course I see the alphabet in uppercase and lowercase, the numbers, and then it looks like &quot;River Nile April 1889.&quot; Next it looks like &quot;Nanna from Nina&quot; with the words Nanna and Nina done in different lettering styles. The stitching itself appears to be done in knitting yarn, such as wool.</p><p>The fabric has actually been nailed to a wooden board and then the whole thing framed under glass.</p><p>I believe I remember reading somewhere that stitchers would sometimes date their piece with a reference to a current event but I cannot find anything particularly notable about the river Nile from April 1889.</p><p>I would love to hear your thoughts!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]53724[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]53725[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
