Thank you to both of you for preserving the history of these samplers and bringing them to all of us. Good luck to Jackie with her studies, what a fascinating subject.
I was delighted to watch this video as I am currently working on this sampler Nicola and really enjoying it. I find it a very relaxing and calming sampler to stitch and I love to think there is a connection of some kind with Louisa. That little bit about the missing stitch in the heart motif really touched me. Thank you again for all your hard work in researching these samplers and bringing them to life again. Warm Regards Christine
this is amazing ... loved the story so much and it makes me want to start it right away ... thanks for doing all this research... watched this more than 5 times in one day ... can you please please make a playlist for videos with a researchs and stories ... iwould love to watch them over and over again 😭 thanks a million sending love from istanbul to you and your guests 🤍🤍🤍
Another wonderful video Nicola...those children were so lucky to be admitted to the orphanage! The records are such a great reference for the samplers. My heart did lurch when you said "children born in wedlock"....there were likely many that didn`t qualify, poor little mites...I have been watching Victorian Slum House, and the conditions that children lived in in London were atrocious! This would have been heaven in contrast I would think...

Hi Jacqueline and Nicola !! ❤️ Your video together is wonderful. You both have inspired and enabled me to place a huge order from HATS !! I will start on Louisa when she arrives. Her story is amazing. Hugs and happy stitching. 😊
Oh how I enjoyed this video. I love the stories about the history of the stitching. TY for this special one.

How wonderful to know so much about the little girl who stitched this sampler!
What a fascinating story! Amazing that the originals can sometimes be found and the histories as well. Thank you for the video!
Very interesting. Thank you so much for the information on the orphanage and Louisa.
It is so good to know the story behind a sampler. "Louisa" in one colour only is a sampler I would like to do!

Thank you Carolyn for your kind words and support. Louisa is in many hearts through her needle work. It is such a wonderful way to remember her.
What a wonderful video, thank-you for sharing this find and the fascinating story behind it ..
Clare Marie So pleased you enjoyed Louisa's story.

Hello. I’m watching this video some two years later and wondering what is the sampler that Jacquie was going to stitch next as a model ?
Gosh I cannot remember know, I think it was Jenefer Gilbert.
