It's slow progress at the moment. I am filling the first basket with flowers and finding it rather tedious and I have three more to do! I will post a picture as soon as one is finished!
In the meantime, following my policy of showing things contemporary to the Sundial Coverlet, I found this sampler by Martha Grubb dated 1795 via the Needleprint blog.
It's being sold at Roseberys on 10 November ( Lot 627) and I apologise for the not very good pictures. The one in the catalogue was small and couldn't be enlarged so I asked for better ones and this is the best they could do. However, just look at the content! I think it gives a real flavour of the era and it thrills me that the maker of the Sundial could have sewn a similar one!
