French red cross-stitch samplers

Been busy this morning packing up Etsy sales and listing two great vintage samplers from France.

I think they were made at different times by the same lady although the second one does not have a Christian name. It could be Angele Yernaux when she was younger as this second one is more naivea, larger stitching and not as accomplished as the one bleow. On the other hand it could have ben made by a younger sister of Angele

The third item I listed today is a Victorian Bristol board  embroidered bookmark on a a lovely silk ribbon.

You can find all of these newly listed
