<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 1243120, member: 1476"]The first sampler is signed by "Jane Hughes." A more common name, unfortunately. What part of the U.S. did you find it in? (That may help a bit.) And the quote "I am that bread of life." is from the teachings of Jesus. The use of "that" instead of more modern "the" tells us it came from the King James Bible, which was/is the most widely printed book in history. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
