Talk by Morna Annandale, Curator at Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums

Originally developed as a record of different stitches and techniques, in the 1700s embroidered samplers were framed and displayed in the home. Join curator Morna Annandale to find out about the designs in the beautiful samplers in our collection and the lives of the girls who stitched them.
