patch d'une cliente; le quilting améliore nettement le patch, fais vibrer le fond beige et met en valeur les blocs piécés; les plumes dans les bordures encadre bien le tout.
What they might look like lined up together. They are square, so I would turn them and play with them until I could get flowing from one piece to the next.
This is a sampler worked by Frances Kelsey aged 10 years in about 1820. We have another sampler worked by Frances Kelsey in the collection. It is dated 1820 and as it is much more complex than this one it was probably made slightly later. Unforuantely at some point before this sampler came to the museum it has been cut across the centre but is otherwise in very good condition.

Samplers were first made in the 1400s or 1500s as a way of remembering different types of stitches or patterns. Over time they evolved into pieces of work made by young girls, proving their knowledge and patience.
The Herbert has over 60 samplers in its collection. With volunteers from NADFAS we have recently completed a project to improve their storage and to make them more accessible. You can see some of the samplers on display at the Herbert in the History Gallery, Connected and in What's in Store.
Just little bits and pieces of projects. They're not personal so I can't show the whole pieces, just insignificant snippets.
These places and characters are all based off photos and information from the 1930s-40s.

Still working on it. I haven't made any blocks at all for a shamefully long time now. I've gotten bogged down with being sick and having a craft fair to make for.

It was so nice to have this project almost finished before Sam was born (all that was left was to fill in the birthday and name). I was actually able to finish it in a timely manner this way. Now I just need to find some paper to glue on the back and it will be ready to hang next to Averill's sampler (which is done with the same pattern -- from Blackbird Designs -- and the same threads, the only difference is the linen and the frame.
Second book: twisted chain stitch waves, satin stitch boat, fly stitch gulls, scroll stitch clouds. Sky (left to right) threaded chain stitch, thorn stitch, wheat ear stitch.
Remake #3 of the day. I wanted a brighter version, and to eliminate all of the creams from the blocks that I have.

This is a book I made on Jan 13 2007 to hold samples of embroidery to learn more follow link
A few people have emailed me and left notes on my blog that they want to make one of these. If you are interested in me making a tutorial on how to make one and how to work th e stitches to hold the spine together post a comment here. This way I know how much interest there is in such a thing. You can also post that on the blog as well.
thanks Sunshine
My ghosts are a bit too floaty (barely visible) for my liking, BUT my partner really likes them like this. I may outline them once the rest of the sampler is done, or I may not. I have actually started a second version on darker raw linen, which is working a lot better for me.
Romanian Point Lace Sampler, my own design. I think it's finished, all I need to do is take it off the fabric.
It is interesting to me how the samplers are changing. Working in a series seems to bring out the unexpected. I concentrated on movement here--more open space so there would be room for the stitches to "dance". My bullion knots come out beautifully almost every time. I am excited about that. Thanks Karen.......
