Le Marquoir de Justine NOW AVAILABLE !!!
In 1818, eight-year-old Louise Justine Atalie Matthy stitched what was later to become famously known as Le marquoir de Justine. This very highly sought after reproduction sampler chart has been available at times, and then extremely difficult to obtain at others. But it is NOW AVAILABLE at the bargain price of 20 euros through the very reliable Violarium!
This chart is actually a book which includes a photo of Justine’s original sampler, as well as much information on the sampler’s and Justine’s history. Unfortunately for many of us non-dual-language Americans, the book is in French … but the love of needlework — and the reproduction chart for Le marquoir de Justine cross all language boundaries, of course!
