The Autumn Sampler, pattern by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. This was one of my goals for the first quarter finish along, and I was so close to meeting my goal, but alas it will carry over to the next quarter. I only have the black and white floss color left to stitch!

Some process shots of my HST sampler quilt. Made a a prize for the winner of a fundraiser auction for my friend's doula co-op.
Sampler Socks from the book Sock Yarn One Skein Wonders. Yarn is Same Difference from the Knitting Goddess, in colourway Cloudy Skies.
I thought this “Same Difference” yarn -- half a skein in white and blue, the other other half skein in blue and white -- would be a good match for these sampler socks, which each use a different combination of stitch patterns.
This is my first successful attempt at knitting socks!
This was my first ever full sized quilt. It's not at ALL my style, not even when I was making it, but I didn't know that I could break the quilting rules. (I had a strict quilt teacher)
There's heaps of mistakes all throughout, but I don't care, I'm still happy it's done. Machine pieced and quilted, finished 1997ish.

Modeled after a pattern in the New Crewel. I am learning which stitches I like, those I find challenging and the ones that try my patience! The fabric is a vintage linen hankie.
The former ore sampler in Murray, Utah. Located "down rail' from the former Murray ASARCO smelter site, with connections to the then Union Pacific and Rio Grande mainlines. Undergoing some sort of demolition effort at the time of the photo, it would stall shortly afterwards leaving the building still standing as a hollowed out skeleton.
This is a sampler worked by Ann Odell in 1826. It has an unusual openwork stitch worked on the capital letters, you can just see the holes with stitches worked around them in the bottom half of the sampler.

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.
Original design inspired by Thimbleberries "Lazy Crazy" fabric panels. I used the "Easy Dresden" tool for the border. Completed in 2008.
