Sampler Girl
Posted in cross stitch on 02/14/2011 05:49 pm by adminHow would I get reframed a hand-embroidered sampler, made abiut 1709?
It was made by a seven-year old girl and is extremely intricate, verrry old and has been framed in something that is not preserving it. I am very afraid (reasonably so, I an sure) it will disintegrate when removed, if someone who doesn't know egg-zackly what to do with it handles it.
So, who, and how, and - ahem - how much will it cost, if a good guess can be made? It easures abur 20" wide x 39: ling.
Thanks.
Please call you local museum to speak with a preservationalist. If you don't have a resouce close to you, please call the Art Institute of Chicago and ask to speak with the Textile Curator at (312) 443-3696.
