This is a sampler worked by Selener Samuel aged 8 in 1836. The first synthetic dye was discovered in 1856 so all dyes before this date come from natural sources such as plants. This is why the early samplers are often less vibrant than ones made from 1856 onwards, such as the samplers worked by Martha Barnes.

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.

Experiments with buttonhole stitch. Some up and down buttonhole, a buttonhole bar and closed buttonhole.
This was at the relatively new Deschutes brew pub in Portland. We got a sampler tray which was a real treat. I think they are the best brewery in America-- bar none. There is a depth and richness to every one of their beers that no other brewery can match.

This is a sampler worked by Esther Shuffle aged 11 years and completed on 13th April 1848.
The text reads
'Next unto God dear parents, I address
myself to you, in humble thankfulness
for all your care and charge on me bestow'd
and means of learning unto me allow'd.'
This verse was popular in lessons and continues
'Go on, I pray, and let me still pursue
Those golden arts the vulgar never knew.'

That about sums up today. And it's making me feel incredibly sad. This is work related crap but I feel like I've been ignored by far too many people and now a situation has gone to hell in an all too predictable way. And I tried to stop it, I did my part.
This fluff sample was sent to me from an etsy seller. It lives on my bulletin board at work.

Sampler.Sampler. Anticamente, non esistevano manuali di cucito e di lavori femminili. E così le donne per trasmettersi dei campionari di punti di madre in figlia, li cucivano su pezzi di stoffa e poi man mano ne aggiungevano degli altri. In Francia furono chiamati marquoirs, in Inghilterra samplers, in Italia imparaticci, anche se questo termine è riduttivo e improprio, in quanto, una volta terminati, questi campionari erano ritenuti degni di diventare dei cuscini o dei quadri. Nei samplers si possono trovare alfabeti, nomi, date, frasi, proverbi, simboli..tutto ciò che la fantasia e i desideri della ricamatrice volevano trasmettere in un dato momento!
Il più antico sampler esistente si trova presso il Victoria and Albert Museum di Londra ed è datato 1598. Apparteneva a Jane Bostok.
