This is the "house and alphabet sampler" from the Historical Sampler Company. It came as a kit (Christmas pressie!) and is worked on 16 count aida.
Week 5 - bottom two rows are herringbone stitch, tacked herringbone stitch, laced herringbone stitch, and double herringbone stitch.

This active WIP has turned into an hibernating one due to poorly written instructions, mistakes and typo.
Might come back to it at a later date when other pressing projects are completed.
Long term new project that I am looking forward to start.

A pair of American Robins flanking a flower basket are the visual highlight of this sampler. Additional birds – including some in mid-flight – complement butterflies, trees, flowers and dogs within an uncommon zigzag border. The alphabet reiterates the traditional role of samplers as a record of stitches that might be needed later in life to monogram the family linens.

This 1955 jazz sampler somehow resurfaced from my mother's house. The sleeve partially nibbled by unidentified creatures.
Began photocopying the sleeve and ended up trying to recreate it. The original is shown left, my copy to the right. Made a mistake with my scissors in the upper left corner. So I made it look like a cut-out mark.
It's a mid-sized 10-inch record my father possibly received from a family member living in Canada. This record was mailorder only, distributed in both the US and Canada. My father wasn't into jazz but he kept the record anyway.
After all those years one track still moves me. It's Relaxin' at Camarillo by the incredible Charlie Parker. Camarillo was the name of the rehab clinic Parker had just left. Song titles were invented by studio personnel so Parker could stick to making music.
This was my first quilt, made of 12 different blocks. The beauty of this quilt is the variation of each distinct pattern. It took me 10 years to hand quilt it.
