I think all 44 stitches are here. I've been too busy the last few weeks to do individual samplers, but I kept adding stitches to this sampler.

From the box:
"English Sampler worked by Susanna Gellet in 1800 on woollen canvas with coloured silks. Reproduced from the outstanding collection of Samplers in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge."
Our first puzzle of 2022 is from a manufacturer/distributor we'd not heard of before: Willis Toys. A quick search reveals they are still in existence, but this particular jigsaw is some years old and no trace of it remains online as far as I can tell. Thinner pieces - although they fit together well enough - all with regular shapes: 2 knobs, 2 holes, so not as easy as it first appeared.
This is the first photo of the progress I have made so far on the sampler. I have chosen not to used a planned color scheme, but instead use threads left over from past projects. I think it adds to the sampler feel.

In the US (and many other Nations these days) you have the "Beer Sampler"...
...in Japan you get that as well, but more importantly (for me at least) you can experience the "Sake Sampler".
Picture I took in Higashikawa, Hokkaido at a MICHELIN 3-star restaurant (Rishiri) that was just down the street from where our camping car (rv) was parked. Made better in that we had dinner with friends that live there and hadn't seen for 10 years!

Mixing my color scraps for the 'main' fabric and printed whites for my background fabric, I created a completely unique look and layout for Tula Pink's Modern Sampler.

My Sampler Project is finally finished. I love each and every square because I learned so much from the challenge.

Watch for my next "Come Stitch With Me" Challenge.

7) portuguese stem knotted stitch
8) sheaf stitch and cross stitch

Sorry the fabric wasn't flat in the photo. At least I didn't use the flash this time. The cross stitch band I designed just before I started stitching it to make sure that it would fit lengthwise between rows 9 and 11. I changed and added to it as I stitched it. I tried to design my own acorn blackwork pattern, but I found a better one designed by Marion Scoular and used hers instead. I have learned so much from this class and I can't wait to get started on my Lesson 2 sampler!
