Welcome to AntiqueSamplers.net

Welcome to my personal website, www.AntiqueSamplers.net.

I've had so many requests for photos and information about my samplers and other antique needlework pieces that I've created this website  to provide an overview.  The needlework is organized into categories including Miniature/Small, Quaker, American, English, Continental, etc.   Images and pages will be added as time permits.

Please feel free to browse, ask questions, send comments and most of all, enjoy!
