When we fall in love with an antique sampler-we love the "whole package" the muted colors, the faded/discolored linen. Most of us never even see the backs!

Because when I think of an reproduction, I want to see what colors the designer originally intended. this gives a more true insight to what the colors were available back when at that time. Also we learn what mood or emotion the designer wanted to achieve. This is just my opinion. thank you for sharing.<br />Annette - CaliforniaAnnette-Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875182288808015617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563433147316949363.post-37074494032519570232012-02-20T16:19:40.594-06:002012-02-20T16:19:40.594-06:00It really blows my mind that 12 & 13 year olds...It really blows my mind that 12 & 13 year olds were able to produce such beautiful stitchery...this piece is beautiful and I prefer the muted floss colors.BARBARAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638091290742601325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563433147316949363.post-7730702872005393442012-02-20T13:33:50.183-06:002012-02-20T13:33:50.183-06:00how exciting to see your design process on Frances...how exciting to see your design process on Frances - can't wait to see the whole sampler.

I vote the muted colors.<br /><br />As for her musty smell, try this...it really works. Put her in a ziploc bag and stick her in the freezer for an hour or two. The smell will vanish. You can do this for old books, etc, as well. I do this for quilts, too.Heartspun Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15846281238709228772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1563433147316949363.post-8647067671543620132012-02-20T09:06:20.797-06:002012-02-20T09:06:20.797-06:00Beautiful!
