The top is finally done. I added another four blocks and some interesting sashing in the center to modify the traditional sampler look.

my progress on the Storytime Sampler (by the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery) - with a few modifications (mostly in colour, plus the addition of some backstitching and french knots)
A blackwork sampler (my first). The design adapted from my old Collins Complete Book of Needlecraft (1978,1981) and some technique help from The Complete Book of Needlecrafts introduced by Caroline Ollard (1983,1984). I'm going to work the design on mulberry coloured Belfast linen (32 counts per inch) in black cotton. Probably blogged at: www.handledcarefully.blogspot.com

This sampler is pretty unique – we spent a lot of our wedding day hiking down Silver Star Mountain with a pretty big bridal party. The views were simply intoxicating. Our day begins near Okanagan lake. This is a backyard wedding, and so it’s small, intimate, and cozy. As always, we begin with our detail […]

A knitting sampler, knitted last night and about to be frogged. I used the yarn that I got from the Biggan Dups class on Continental Knitting at the iKnit Weekender. It is DK weight 100% Australian Merino Wool and a delight to knit with. All of this stitch patterns were worked from "400 Knitting Stitches: Great Stitch Patterns" (Murdoch Books) - except the "heel stitch" which I found on www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/525 - and the stitch names and page numbers can be seen in the 'notes' as you hover over the photos on their flickr page.
Rather than making a book with attached pages, I am leaving the samplers like a deck of cards. I put two samples back to back and sewed them together.
While considering how to compile them, I came across a napkin holder in my stash of vintage textiles. Seemed perfect to protect and contain my samples. So I stitched the title and my name on it. Still need to sew the last sides together and remove basting threads. Then I will make a video to share.
Strawberries + strawberry blossoms together are supposed to symbolize virtue in women (the flower and the fruit - fruitful yet chaste). I wonder if the designer knew?
I'm contributing to the April Sampler (www.homeofthesampler.com). I've packaged my bottlecap necklaces up by cutting 2"x3" cards from food boxes, cutting slits in the top to run the chain to the back and putting them in small bags. Then I stapled my biz card to the bag.
This is the second miniature sampler I made, a wedding sampler, in honor of my marriage to Bob. The couple is holding a heart, and our initials and the date of our wedding are included.

Back: Eggplant Tapende (eggplants, garlic, tomatoes)
Left: Spicy Walnut Pepper Spread (fire roasted peppers, walnuts, oil, garlic, parsley)
Right: Red Pepper Spread (roasted red peppers, olive oil, garlic)
Front: Beet Skordalia (baked beets, garlic, herbs, and spices)
These were SO GOOD. Eggplant was the least flavorful. Everything else was...flavorful. Surprisingly so. For four choices we picked a good spread of flavors (crunchy, spicy, sweet, mushy, blah blah). Uber-colorful. It made me feel like I was eating something healthy...on top of lots and lots of warm pita bread.
