Just thought I would add this link about a sampler recently acquired by the London Foundling Museum. Grants were required for its purchase including £5,500 by The Art Fund, plus contributions by the MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund and the Worshipful Company of Weavers. The actual sampler cost in excess of £10,000.
