I know these are old and called Samplers. I just thought they were awesome and had to have them. Is it some kind of needle point? In order they read Wisdom is Strength, The Old Arm Chair, Praise The Lord and Welcome.

Thank you bluemoon.
Thank you VictorianLady!
Thank you Dottie!
Your wonderful samplers are done in cross stitch or petit point with thread,a very time consuming process and very different than needle point which is usually done in wool yarn.Very valuable especially with the awesome frames.
Those are wonderful. Great treasures!
Thank you Dottie for taking the time and giving the right information!! :-)

Hi Michael,
I see everything in your home is beautiful, and you are a great designer. I also love the lay out of your house of the living room going into the dining room.(real nice!)
I would love to see a picture of your house. I bet it is beautiful. I love old houses and log cabins. Kathy
