Silverware, linen and laser embossed wood serving platter complete the charming service. Also great company from Sophie and Bobby. :)
Kitten and the Bear is part retail, part jam and tea room. The small menu features a tight jam-friendly menu. Their hand-made, limited-batch jams and marmalades are cooked in a traditional French-style unlined copper confiture pan using seasonal heirloom fruit that’s spiked with spices, flowers/pine, tea and spirits with no additives or pectin. The bright fruit-forward confiture – some with chunks of soft fruit suspended within – come in flavours such as strawberry, gooseberry and fresh elderflower or blueberry, white peach and Sloane’s Masala Chai tea. They also carry clotted cream imported from Devon.

Este es el sampler de Mercedes. ¿Podeis creer que lo acolchó en tan sólo 2 semanas? Pues doy fé de que así fue.
Pasifika inspiration for zentanglers and henna artists :o)
I've loaded it here, on my personal account, as well as on our OodleArdle business account, because I can't put it in my own zentangle samplers gallery unless it's in a different Flickr account!
This is the pillow case I made from my sampler, my very first stitches, which were featured on Feeling Stitchy... so proud!
Blogged about this pillow at
I collect mending samplers, mostly Dutch and mostly about an hundred years old. I love the story of how they evolved from strips of cloth that women and girl's would travel with-- gathering their repertoire of available stitches in a world with few books and no internet-- to these schoolgirl demonstrations of practice and product. Many were sewn by young girls who would go on to work in other people's homes, monogramming their wash, decorating their table linens. This was their proof.
A sampler to practice warp float and supplementary weft patterning and weft twining that I learned with Montagnard (Vietnamese hilltribe) backstrap weavers.
Sampler quilt made with 12" blocks in a zig-zag setting. Moda fabrics designed by Brannock/Patek and others. Twin size, started in 2008 and quilted in 2010.
Close detail of fabric ready to add to my band sampler. The white fabric is scrap cotton added to the side so I can get it on a hoop. The tacking lines are edge of the sampler.

This is a sampler worked by Ann Maria Phillips, aged 10 in about 1810
The first verse reads,
'Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand
As the first effort of an infant's hand
And while her fingers on the canvas move,
Engage her tender thoughts to seek thy love.
With thy dear children let she have a part,
And write thy name thyself upon her heart.
According to the V&A authorship of this is attributed by some to the hymn-writer John Newton (1725-1807), best known for 'Amazing Grace', who is said to have written it for the sampler of his niece. It has also been suggested that it was composed by Isaac Watts (1674-1748) for his niece.
The same verse also appears on Catherine Palmer's and Ann Dunkley's samplers.
The second phrase is from Proverbs 31:30 and reads,
Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman
that feareth the Lord she shall be praised.

To Thee in every trouble flee.

This is a sampler worked by Alice Ann Monk aged 8 years in about 1850.
The text reads
In Memory of
John Monk who died November 10 1840 aged 6 years and 9 months
Also Mary Monk who died December 18 1844 aged 8 months
Also Charlotte Monk who died November 19 1848 aged 7 months
Also Walter Samuel Monk who died March 28 1850 aged 7 months
We fondly linger o'er their dust.
And kiss the lovely brow
Those lips so late with dimples graced
Are pale and silent now
Bet let our sorrows cease to flow
God has recalled his own
And let our heart in every woe
Still say thy will be done
(in tomb) they sleep in death
Alice Ann Monk her work
aged 8 years

"un moment vient oU l'on se tient devant la glace et l'on dit: est-ce que cela c'est vraiment moi? et pourquoi? pourquoi devrais-je me solidariser avec Ca? que m'importe ce visage?"
Milan Kundera, L'immortalitE (1990)
Not a terrific picture, I know!
This sampler is from a kit my mom bought in the 80s and never started; I picked it up in 2002 or so and redesigned the entire colour scheme (originally was in peaches and pastel blues, which weren't to my taste). I've still got to embroider my name and a date in at the bottom, but the majority of the work has been done for years.
There are some detail shots as well!
This is a sampler worked by Ann Nevill (or Neville) aged 10 years. It was completed on 28th April 1842.
The text reads
1
Enoch the seventh walk'd with God through a long course of years
He rested on the Saviour's blood while this vale of tears
2
While here on earth he liv'd by faith and grew in perfect love
By faith he triumph'd over death and rose to heaven above
3
May I like Enoch walk with God and in his image grow
Still live by faith in Jesus blood and speak his praise below
The first verse was written by Hugh Bourne (1772-1852) and the second two were added by Sir John Bowring (1792-1872). According to the Bible Enoch was the seventh generation, whereas Adam was the first. Enoch is also recorded as being the father of Methuselah and the Great-grandfather of Noah.
