Afternoon Play: Sampler T6

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Louise Ramsden.
Among the collection of Victorian samplers in London's Victoria and Albert Museum , there is a piece of needlework: catalogue number Sampler T6-1965. In tiny red stitching on plain linen cloth, it tells the extraordinary life-story of its creator, Elizabeth Parker. This play imagines how it came to be made, and why Elizabeth chose this particular medium to tell her story.
