Using Summer Soiree fabric. I added one more row of blocks to fit a full bed.

This sampler is possibly the oldest homemade thing I own. It has the date 1838 and the name Harriet West, a name I didn’t recognise as part of my family, yet it had been found with my Grandmother’s things. It wasn’t until I began to trace my family tree that I finally solved the mystery, it was made by my Great Great Grandmother, West is her maiden name. Now it all makes sense!

When I inherited it, it was just a roughly folded piece of cloth and in a pretty poor state, I have had it mounted and framed and it hangs with a couple of samplers that I made myself.

It is hard to read though, it begins with the alphabet and numbers at the top, and the rest are bible quotes. Such a treasure.

Completed in Bristol airport with some smuggled in blunt needles! For an order.

Rod and I went to Big Lots on Wednesday and that was when I bought this. By coincidence, Forest Gump is on the tv now...

Little boxes: each one a couplet, collectively, an ode.

Starting my own hot cocoa sampler pack (of pics). Inspired by Vicki's invitation to try The Thematorium's latest challenge, I tried to revisit a recent pic. I used a quality lens, but I didn't like the bokeh effect. I'll have to try again, but with a better bokeh lens.

 

About this: the marshmallow are homemade. But more about that later.

Angelica reluctantly works on her sampler. It has taken years for her to get this far because she does not particularly enjoy needle crafting. Her mother insisted that all young ladies must create one.

Maple half was delicious.

Sinds 1992 maak ik regelmatig een verzamelstuk van bewaarde restjes, voor mijn eigen archief . Dit is nr. 16, 100 x 100 cm, met wat van vorig jaar overbleef.

I am developing a class on improvisational quilting. This is the sampler I made to help sell the class.

In order to break up the rows of stitching on my sampler, I cut a piece of felt, basted it down and used buttonhole stitches to appliqué it to my ticking background. I used buttonhole wheel stitches to embellish the felt flower shapes. The fern-like stems were done in my favorite variation of the fly stitch.

The needlepoint of the time, before they had needles. These are pecked into rock.

How was your morning? Besides 5°F (-15°C) temperatures the morning was amazing. Thanks to The Robey Hotel Team a bunch of like minded people gathered to have a blast! This is just one part of the views that Robey Hotel offers. What do you think?

there is some of my sister's potpourri encased behind the lace,the velvet is something I found in her stuff after she died, I think she might have been planning a crazy quilt. Everything is attached to a scrap of Aida cloth.
