Embroidery Sampler

Starting our knitting projects yesterday meant that we had to hunt out our knitting needles. We found them in my old embroidery sampler bag that I made as a 3rd Former in 1961 at Otago Girls High School!
It’s a piece of personal history!

I’m really curious if anyone else had embroidery classes at their high school, and maybe made a bag like mine?
I enjoyed the process of embroidery, and made 2 or 3 table cloths and napkins - however, I didn’t really like the end products - seemed too old fashioned for me, so it is not something I’ve continued to do.

Brought back some fond memories of an excellent, and strict teacher, Mrs Lascelles.
