This quilt is made with blocks from the Quilt Block Exchange. I quilted this as a piece to bring to quilt shops for longarm quiltling referrals.

¿Verdad que quedó simpático? Carmen le puso varios motivos infantiles porque es para un niño y el resultado es asà de alegre.
This is a sampler worked by Sophia Maria Lomas from Nuneaton in 1868.
The text reads
I have found the joys of Heaven,
I am one of the angel band,
To my head a crown of gold,
Is given and a harp is in my hand,
I have learned the song they sing,
Whom Jesus hath set free,
And the glorious walls of Heaven,
Still ring with my new born melody
These are two verses from a hymn about The Believer in Glory.

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.
This is a sampler worked by S Gilron in 1808 in silk on a cotton or linen background.

Taken for Our Daily Challenge: ART AND/OR CRAFT, the topic for Tuesday, October 9
Made for the Western Washington Fair Home Arts / Creative Stitchery / Counted Thread exhibition (note shameless pandering to the Fair bottom centre), this picture has squares for each of Washington State's 39 counties, plus a few extra to make them come out even.
I stole the idea from a commercial pattern that featured a square for each of the United States, and then designed my own pictures for each of our counties.
Since I was standing in the accountancy line when design talent was being given out, it's probably wise to point out that the two things that look like off-colour grain silos next to the cherries in Yakima County are asparagus stalks. Thurston County is home to Olympia, our state capital. (The blue sheep in the Fair square are cars on the old wooden roller coaster, since demolished / disintegrated).
Ho creato per oggi un romantico e delicato Sampler welcome, da crearne un originale pinkeep oppuer un elegantissimo banner.

This sampler quilt was started at a quilting course in 1980. I'd made most of the blocks when we had to pack up the house and move countries. The pieces had been packed away ever since. With my interest in quilting recently reinvigorated, I decided to finally look at it again and finished it in February 2009. Better twenty-nine years late than never!
From top to bottom:
double herringbone,
single herringbone,
two blocks of stacked herringbone with a short row of herringbone in ribbon floss,
two short rows of laced herringbone (two different lacing methods)
two rows of triple herringbone (top row is just stitched one on top of the other, but the bottom row is interlaced),
herringbone with a narrow row of herringbone worked on top in gold thread,
a block of pink closed herringbone (right half is tied),
a brown block of crisscross herringbone tied with pink,
a block of stacked herringbone with beads and sequins,
a row of twisted lattice band (LHS threaded with ribbon floss and RHS threaded with some gold knitting yarn).
It is finished with some free herringbone and sequin waste held down with herringbone.

I finished the top, using 10 grey, green and aqua blocks I received in the 4x5 bee! I didn't want a traditional sampler layout, so I made some random blocks (flying geese, some trees, some blocks with strips, hst, etc.) to add an added panels of fabric. I think the result is very lively with lots of movement, maybe just a little busy. What do you think!? This is the only picture that worked, the wind was to strong to get a better one with natural light.
Gelato Sampler
Notes: In terms of consistency, the gelato looked very (too) hard for gelato. I hate it when ice cream/gelati/sorbet are served rock hard - almost as if they were pre-scooped and frozen in the dish/ramekin. However, we let them sit a while and they were pretty nice and smooth. The vanilla was the hardest. The raspberry was the softest - no doubt helped along by the raspberry jam, which acted as a stabilizer.
Vanilla: (left) Uncompelling. Although I could see the vanilla beans, it was very weak and fake-tasting. The flavor was not unlike vanilla pudding (or vanillin).
Raspberry: (upper/middle) Like the vanilla, this ice cream tasted "flavored." Rasberry ice cream made from real raspberries has a certain berry tartness to it. However, this ice cream had an unnaturally round taste - very jammy. As it turns out, I was semi-right: the ice cream's raspberry flavoring came from house-made raspberry jam.
Chocolate malt: (right) I'm not a huge fan of malt, and this was a heavily malted chocolate. For malt lovers, this would be a real treat. I would have liked to have more chocolate than malt.
Civil War Sampler-pattern was through my LQS and is about 3 years old. I quilted each block and then circle feathers in the snowball block and feathers in the border.
This is a sampler worked by Maria Hulett in 1844. The text reads 'I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living' and 'Make haste to help me O Lord my salvation'. Samplers often include biblical verse or images. We have another one of Maria's samplers in the collection.

I added a few beads to Week 1, but won't add more until I've finished the stitching. I also re-did the Portuguese stem stitch between the posts in Row 3.
Week 2 begins with the heavy teal line midway :
Row 1: Portuguese stem stitch in 2 strands of cotton floss
followed by second row of the same stitch in a wool tweed yarn.
Row 2: double fly stitch mirrored and linked in #5 pearl
Row 3: stem stitch, first in #12 pearl, then in #8 or 10
Row 4: triple chain "butterflies" in rayon floss alternating with knotted cross stitch "stars" in Watercolours
Row 5: 2 rows of running stitch in velvet cord, laced with a sparkly cotton yarn.
Row 6: triple fly stitch variation in Wildflowers, French knots in hemp yarn.
Row 7: tulip stitch, chains in silk floss, woven V's in Waterlilies. Fly stitches repeating below V's in #10 pearl.
