Huswives & samplers are lovely. Written by Mandy N (10/18/2006 2:22 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Huswife is a needle case or book, penned by Barbara

I've just checked the Le Faye book for the picture of a late Eighteenth-century needlebook or huswife.
Apparently, ladies often made huswives or needlecases as small, useful presents to give to one another.

Thankyou for showing these.
