<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 9547190, member: 649&quot;]It appears from the photos provided to look like it is wool thread stitched on linen.</p><p>Keep in mind that not all samplers were pretty, finely-done things stitched in silks... many were done with more cheaply/widely available wool threads, and with much simpler designs such as this. The younger girls, the poorer girls, the country girls wouldn&#039;t be using the finer threads, nor stitching the finer (more collectable and currently more valuable) designs.</p><p>I do wonder if it was cleaned and repaired/backed at some point.</p><p>I also agree that it&#039;s still <i>possible</i> that it&#039;s a more modern copy though, as OP has said, it&#039;s not a style that would generally be copied.</p><p>More photos will be helpful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
