Hannah Thompson ~ 1847


Last week on Early Works Mercantile I purchased this antique sampler from Pineberry Lane.  Hannah came and I love her.  She's showing her age just a bit, but that's to be expected.



I am close to finishing Lydia Bond, the reproduction sampler started 25+ years ago.  I see why a put her aside for so many years, but this time I am perservering.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)

    Beautiful sampler. She looks good for her age! (sigh) Something many of us can't relate to.

    It's a lovely piece. I'm looking forward to seeing your own sampler finished. I'm sure it has aged nicely while packed away. I think that with age comes perseverance, lol...
    Hugs, Julia

    Ha ha....You don’t know how close Hannah came to residing in Nod LOL.... I just couldn’t quite figure how to rearrange my sampler wall to fit her in and had promised that I would finish my game board wall before undoing any walls that were relatively “done.” She is quite the looker....congrats my friend! Happy FriYay!! ~Robin~
