It was FABULOUS to watch...the pieces so beautiful...the prices much more than I could imagine. Being an incurable romantic, I can't help reflecting on the stitchers of these beauties.

Thanks for posting Brenda... I almost forgot it was on! What fun to watch, it was fabulous to see most go for more than estimated. I wish I could have been bidding too!
Fabulous to see this auction, thanks for the link! Big prices but beautiful works of art:))
I caught most of it!! What a beautiful selection of samplers. And I was so surprised at some of the prices. Wish that I could have bought one!
The Betty Ring total sale was over 4 million USD. Keep on stitching, ladies.....a simple sampler done today may be worth a fortune in years hence!!

I just saw an article indicating that the sampler auctions netted in excess of 4.3 million dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!
