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.

Using a vintage pattern from Antique Patterns Library. Used silk yellow floss for the honeycomb part.
Handwritten calligraphy
The text was spontaneously handwritten during a live demo for attendees at ArtPlosure, an annual arts & crafts festival in Raleigh NC using various broad edged pens, pointed pens, reeds, and brushes.
I LOVE marks, strokes, doodles, letters, the alphabet, punctuation, words, lower case, upper case, phrases, pens, inks, and whatever other possible thingamajigs and whatchamacallits may be involved. They dwell in my heart and feed my soul.
I stitched this from a pattern from Birds of a Feather (I love their stuff). My digital camera is on the blink, so I had to use my iPhone to take the pic. Looks better in person, I think.
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. Ten years old now.
I am a sucker for samplers alpha or borders or anything sample like. I also like shadow cross stitch.

Situated on 123 acres, Inniswood Metro Gardens is a continual source of inspiration for central Ohioans of all ages. A natural woodland is home to native wildflowers, wildlife and waterways which provides a majestic backdrop to the beautifully landscaped gardens and lawns.
I made this project: Seasonal Sampler for Hero Arts Blog: Everything Autumn! Harvest, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

I kind of frakked this one up, piecing it in the wrong order, but I heart it anyway. This block was one of my ideas for Val's pinwheel month. I didn't make it for Val, but I didn't forget it, either. VORTEX!
(My HV sampler will be made of blocks discovered during or inspired by the three bees I'm participating in this year- One Shiny Bee, Twitterbee, and KBeeC!I'm using a fat quarter stack of Denyse Schmidt's incredible Hope Valley line and Kona Charcoal. It's gonna be dramatic!)
I've finally finished and framed my spring sampler stitchery. Pattern & blogged at bakercourt.blogspot.com
I've been finding myself very drawn to samplers lately - I'm not sure why, but I guess I love the idea of girls and women creating some sort of record and example of their needlework. I love the look and feel of old samplers - the general composition of them - but not the old graphics they used. I thought it would be fun to do a Sublime Stitching Sampler, so I dug through all my Sublime Stitching transfers (in the book and a few transfer packs) and put this together. I'm not 100% satisfied with the final stamping (I rushed and got a few bits crooked) but I think it's going to be fun to work on for a while. I'm taking pictures of finished bits as I go along. Eventually, it will be framed and hung in my office/craft space. :)
This is a sampler worked by Ann Williams in October 1805.

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.
Here are a few sneak peeks of a vintage lace sampler I have just finishedt. I am not showing it in its entirety as I am submitting it for publication in the next Sew Somerset magazine and don't want to give too much away yet. (Lots of 20 minute sessions!)

Background cloth is recycled cotton bedsheet subjected to various surface treatments including rusting, molding, dyeing and rubbings. These are the same dyes and threads used in my earlier TAST 2012 samplers which were worked on Aida cloth.
