What sort of value did they give it?  Asking for Emily.   :)
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.

I've just checked. It was valued at around £300-400. For anyone wanting to see it on iplayer, the item starts at 36 minutes in.

I saw it briefly last night, and I don't think it was as lovely as the one @Emily has!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Yours looks in better condition and is prettier.
The interest for me was the background information in the programme.

Did anyone else see the Antiques Roadshow this evening? A huge sampler from Religieuses Ursulines in Thildonck. I think they said 13 feet long? It was a fascinating display of sewing skills.

This one.  :)

If you go to this google link and select the one entitled but before you do.  Just above the Ursulines word there is a 'Translate this page' . Press the' Translate this page' and it will automatically give you the page in English.


"Bienvenue ... - Ecoles des Religieuses Ursulines de Monswww.ursulines-mons.be › organisation › historique"

It's a beautiful sampler. I was taught by similar nuns in the UK from age 5 to 11.

An excerpt from the page.

"Teaching at that time focused on writing, arithmetic and needlework, without forgetting, of course, religious instruction and the practice of morality. "


Thank you for showing us the sampler  :)
