Checking out the current mix of colors and patterns. Still quite a few squares to make, if it's going to be a comfortable king size.
A giant sampler I've done for the window of Red Door Gallery in Edinburgh. It was not without it's problems but I am pleased with how it turned out. iPod included for scale, bottom left.
Sampler Border. Needs washed and framed. Teb years old :)
These are really samples of borders. Instead of using the borders for parts of other cross stitch, I stitched the whole page! There are three pages of this book I did.
I am a sucker for samplers alpha or borders or anything sample like. I also like shadow cross stitch.
We stopped at a brew pub and restaurant on the way back from DC and ordered the beer sampler, which consists of 7 small glasses, each with a different type of beer. Sadly, most of them weren't that good.
This has been framed for five months...here is a picture of the sampler framed. I think the matting and frame was perfect for it. It is my first attempt at designing an embroidered sampler.
One of my collection of samplers.
This one is modern but based on traditional designs. It is dated 2000. I found it on Kettering market in 2009.
I missed my Busia's cooking so much, I couldn't decide from one thing to the next what to get. So in the end I settled for a bit of everything I like :) Bigos (hunter's stew), Golobki (stuffed cabbage), Placki (a potato pancake), Sausage with Kapusta (sauerkraut), and three Pierogi (one with meat paste filling, one with potato and cheese, one with mushroom and sauerkraut).

Chocobutter, my signature flavor (chocolate/PB)

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.

Another favorite thing - a goofy cross stitch sampler I did after I moved in and found myself looking at a random picture I'd tossed on the wall during the move and wondering what would go better.
I figured I could come up with something less likely to put people off their dinner than "The Temptation of St. Anthony" by Salvador Dali. I decided to do a cross stitch sampler, because my parents have a (perfectly normal) cross stitch sampler done by Grandma Florence who still remembered where every single error was 75 years later.. (There are so many in mine, I can't keep track.)
(I need to retake this picture so there's no glare and it enlarges cleaner and the winerack isn't obscuring the pumpkin.)
Sampler. Color. Various Hingham buildings and motifs including the harbor. Decorative border. Letters and numbers at the top. The following verse is incorporated into the pattern, which was developed and sold by the Hingham Historical Society in the early 1970s:
"Hingham for beauty
Cohasset for pride
If it wasn't for herring
Weymouth had died!"
Gift of Alexander Macmillan.
