If you are a sampler person, you'll want to check out the items that Sotheby's has put online for your viewing pleasure as they promote their sale of Betty Ring's sampler collection. The first is their catalogue for the sale. It's not as long or as scholarly as I'd like myself, but at least you can get some idea of some of the pieces she collected and wrote about.

They have also put both volumes of her Childhood Embroideries online. Now THAT'S a present any sampler lover will enjoy for the holidays!

I have no idea how long these valuable research tools will be available, so take the time to visit these sites while you can.

Patchwork Santa is adorable!
Thank you. I was thrilled to be given him and I've got Mrs. Patchwork to stitch to match. One Day!
