| A French Cathedral Sampler: EV Phrasier 1840 Fabric: 36 ct. Vintage Lentil (Lakeside Linens) Fibers: Gloriana Silks Slate Blue Light, Lacquered Gold, Elizabethan Green, Green Gables, Honey Bronze, Spanish Moss, Granny Smith Green; Silk N Colours: Ink Black, Weathered Basket, Wintered Grass, Shell Stone, Victorian Lady, Bronze Age Green, Snow Drift Comes with lots of commentary about the original. Thank you to Valerie from France who corrected my reading of the line on the bottom. She tells me Euphrasie is an old French girl's name (not used much anymore), and Renout is a typical family name in France. So, it should be "Euphrasie Renout!" Thanks Val! Price: $25.00 |
