Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt block.
I've blogged about it, also showing the back and how I pressed my seams, here: hopetn.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/homemaker.html
Wherein I attempt shading with blackwork. I had a lot of fun with this and learned a lot too.

I am nearing the end of my sampler. I have only a few more patches to fill. It was fun to learn new stitches. It has taken me out of any rut I may have been in and given me so many new stitches to use! Come to my blog, www.fiberluscious.blogspot.com and join me in my next stitching challenge- A crazy quilt perhaps?

The border is borrowed from this free embroidery pattern by Badbird: zuill.us/andreablog/2009/03/01/marchs-embroidery-pattern/
This sampler was made by my great-grandmother, Caroline Southam, in 1890, when she was 10 years old and a pupil at Horsley Woodhouse School, in Derbyshire (UK). Some of the stitching has started to some undone now, but it's 120 years old and has been kept wrapped up in a drawer. I am thinking of getting it framed.

I finished homework for next Saturday : basic points, step 3. So we now have a coral stitched lavender field, a palestrina stitched path border, some straight stitched red wall and chimney, grey zone of chevron stitches and a four-coloured herringbone stitched field of God knows what... and I almost forgot the blanket stitched black roof. I'm afraid the romantic landscape theme is slowly turning to some extremely strange stuff. Sorry guys, I'm not good at romantic landscapes, I guess my BDSM bottom gets up to the surface and shows through...
Double weave Sampler
finished 17 April, 2011
My first project for my intermediate weaving class. We used two different warps, one on top of the other. the top warp was hand-dyed, and the bottom warp is a black and white striped pattern. Both warps are linen, and embroidery floss is used for the weft throughout.
I made this for my niece's Christening. It is mainly applique and embroidery with ribbons, buttons and embellishments onto a linen background.

A first try out for the Penny Sampler, using needle turn applique. Now really trying to figure out how to add it to the sampler, I love the dog wood petal shape!
And it turns out I really like how the background fabric showing through. I considered using sew and turn applique, but this time needle turn and show-through give me just the right organic feeling...

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!

Friendship Sampler
by friends quilt.
Many donors are simply friends. Some of us are really proud to put our names on a difficult project. The Festival allows space to recognize the creator and the people who helped them as welll as the buyer. Let me tell you they believe in writing thank you letters to each and every donor/decorator. In 30 years I've only had 1 personal thank you from a buyer. I nearly fell thru the floor in shock. If it weren't for the buyer, these gestures of goodwill and thankfulness would not be possible on this scale. The endowment board of the hosp. would still be stuck with the measely 2% hocking tickets for visiting ice shows.
