c.1991 The Scarlet Letter: N. Hinde 1778 A miniature samplerAccording to the Scarlet Letter Web page, introducing miniature samplers "Girls and women gave each other gifts of their handwork- a meaningful sentiment then as well as now" It also says the samplers were occasionally put into small books.
So I'm thinking, how cool would that be? having a selection of miniature samplers received from stitching pals?

What a nice idea. I love miniatures--but I am not so good at over one stitching! This is lovely, though!! By the way, I tried to post on your other blog, but I had some problems. I am looking forward to hearing what you think about The Birth of Venus. It is on my pile of TBR! If you really like it, I will have to move it to the top!
Fun idea. How would you display them?
THat's a cool idea. I never knew that. :)
That tiny sampler looks really great, Lelia! Your over one stitching is beautiful. :)
Nice sampler - it would be cool to exchange these.
Ooh, I love the idea of these wee treasures made up into a book - how gorgeous!
