Embroidered sampler, 1721
Anne Chase (American, born 1709)
Newport, Rhode Island
Silk on wool
12 1/4 x 8 1/4 in. (31.1 x 21 cm)
Promised Gift of Ann and Philip Holzer, 2001 (L.2001.53.4)
This delicate piece has taken pride of place as the earliest known sampler that can be attributed to Newport, an important colonial center. American samplers from the first half of the eighteenth century are exceedingly rare; this one is ornamented with floral motifs that still refer to the Baroque style of the previous century. Stitched with colorful silk threads on a wool ground, primarily on cross stitch, it features an acorn and carnation border, three wide floral bands, and a verse. Although unfinished, the piece is inscribed at the bottom: "Anne Chase Made This Sampler In/ The Thirteenth Year of Her Age 1721." Actually, the fact that it Is unfinished adds to the sampler's interest, since it teaches us about how sampler patterns were laid out, and the process by which the girls of Newport worked their samplers. It is not known why Anne never finished it—the most likely reason is a young girl's frustration with the intricacies of such fine work. Anne married Timothy Folger (1706–1750) on December 5, 1733, and lived on Nantucket with him and their five children for the remainder of her life.
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.

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.

Hand embroidery on hem-stitched linen. I have a stack of these napkins which I thought would make a good base for a sampler. They are about 13" square. I drew a grid on the back as Karen suggested, only mine has a lot of diagonals. I am making it up as I go along. No plan.....
Jane Linn taught our guild a lesson on using watercolor pencils & markers with polymer clay. She had the great idea of having us create individual samplers with the different types of media (Inktense, marker & watercolor pencil shown here), plus the different types of glaze or finish (TLS, Varnish, and Translucent or White Translucent polymer clay). I love analyzing stuff like this, so I really enjoyed Jane's lesson!

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.
