Both samplers are in good condition but faded. Edith's has retained its blue colouring. Both are well framed in simple wood frames. Emma Eliza's Sampler 42.5cm x 40cm Wording reads: Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy Youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.
