British Patriotic Samplers: Elizabeth II : calendar sampler

Elizabeth II : calendar sampler

This was listed with no indication of size, provenance or any other history. I guess the ER to be Elizabeth rather than Edward. From this only photograph, the design appears to be calendar style, an image for each month of the year. It did not sell for its starting price of GBP35.00

If you know any more about this design, please leave a comment to enlighten us all!

Another unusual sampler I haven't seen before. As the ER is in the May square maybe it is meant for Edward's coronation as the Queen was crowned in June. 35GBP seems a fair price, wonder why it didn't sell?

About this blog

The focus of this blog is British patriotic samplers and embroideries, especially those from 1901 to the present day. Its purpose is to be a catalogue/reference of the remarkable array of these hand-made works. Each one is a piece of social history, someone's time and skill and heart-felt emotion stitched to commemorate an event to which they must have felt a strong connection.

If you know of examples not yet here, or further sources or links which could be added to this site, please do leave a comment. All comments are moderated (ie. not published automatically). You can also contact me at rooruu ATgmail DOTcom (remove spaces, replace words with relevant symbols).

The general world of royal and patriotic memorabilia is huge, and the focus here is very narrow; I'm not so much a royalist as a student of social history and needlework. Every one of these items has a story.
