This is a sampler worked by Mary Mallaber in about 1821.

 

The text reads

Catch then, O catch the transient hour,

Improve each moment as it flies:

Life's a short summer, man a flower,

He dies; alas: how soon he dies

 

This is a quote from Dr Johnson, an author who published A Dictionary of the English Language in 1755.

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.

The almost done top made with the Habitat Blocks from the Portland Modern Quilt Guild. We each made one (or more) 12" (finished) blocks for this project.

Photos taken and collage created for Our Daily Challenge: Fruit.

 

I was going to cut up some fruit for this challenge. While looking for a plate to display it on, I realized that these dished had fruit on them. And the name of the pattern is Fruit Sampler. So I decided to forget about the fruit and just shoot the dishes. The luncheon plate has a plum on it. I tried to get it in, but it just didn't work.

These were my mother's everyday dishes. She was so artistic. She would have appreciated this collage. I've posted some of her drawings. Here's my favorite:

I can't wait to get started! I added to a fat quarter bundle from Hawthorne threads to make this fun color scheme. 52 weeks two 6.5 blocks a week here I come!

This is my sampler for Lesson 5. It is based on the 'savewater' display garden at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show by Sustainable Gardening Australia. The 'smartie' tree is based on a sculpture by Lisa Jane Miller. The stitches are listed on my new blog: www.carlseapatch.wordpress.com

This sampler is a reproduction of an old pattern. It is cross stitch on linen.

Starting on my first sampler in my sampler-a-month year. Blogged.

The most satisfying part f this piece for me were stitching the double rows of Dove's Eyes and Filet Squares. Yay for learning a new stitch.

Replaced the square grid with some cloth stitch rectangles
