Bieler is my maiden name and I wondered if you had any other information on this sampler. My sister is researching family history and will check to see if Fronica is in there somewhere. Thanks!

I have always had a love affair with old samplers and which that I had the means to purchase a few of my own. I am always fascinated that these beautiful works of art could be created by children. I understand now why you choose your colours as you do. I'm so glad you shared with us!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299867624939647862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-89271789961932923102014-05-21T22:05:23.246-04:002014-05-21T22:05:23.246-04:00Love your design....so old and muted.

When I see samplers with dark prominent colored threads I pass them over because they don't look authentic old to me. Kind of the difference between a "Country" look and a "Primitive" look if you know what I mean.

That would explain the MANY Facebookers waiting to be added to the group this morning, LOL...it was a great way to start my day!!<br /><br />I loved this post so much...you completely nailed why I fell in love with samplers, needlework, and the history behind it all. I own many antique samplers, quite a few are faded beyond reading; it is these few that force me to slow down and really LOOK at the piece...and, in doing so, I become one with the young girl or lady who so lovingly stitched it :-) Thank you so much for all you and the other designers out there do to keep this heart-healing art going...this needleworker deeply appreciates it. ~Terri (dixiesamplar)dixiesamplarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11461904027752801980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-46656357265964361472014-05-21T10:53:15.523-04:002014-05-21T10:53:15.523-04:00Beautiful Blog Entry!
