Two Samplers and a Collar
Article · 5 pages
A short article from the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club describing two 17th-century embroidered samplers made by Elizabeth Robert (later Shrimpton) and a tape and needlepoint lace collar, all family heirlooms. One sampler shows lace stitches on drawn linen and the other is worked in colored silks. The article traces her marriages and family line, and considers whether she made the collar shown in her portrait. Photographs of both samplers and the collar are included.
