Better view of the sampler in the museum I am cataloguing.
Origin still not known, any comments appreciated
From free Lionbrand.com pattern. Joined squares using a "dc2tog combo method join" as described in "Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs" by Edie Eckman pg. 22.
I made up the border as I went.
This is the "house and alphabet sampler" from the Historical Sampler Company. It came as a kit (Christmas pressie!) and is worked on 16 count aida.
The jam sampler platter comes with 3 jams, 2 large buttermilk scones and butter ($7).
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.

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.
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.
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.

My high school let me borrow these goodies for the summer.

Up top is the Akai S-612 sampler that used those awful 2.8" typewriter-style quick-disk diskettes. The top rack is the drive, the bottom is the sampler.

This is a sampler worked by Mary Batty aged 10 in about 1860. It shows Adam and Eve with the snakes in the Garden of Eden about to apples from the Tree of Knowledge.
The text reads
See the leaves around us falling
Dry and wither'd to the ground
Thus to thoughtless mortals calling
In a sad and solemn sound
On the tree of life eternal
Man let all thy hopes by stand (?)
Which alone for ever vernal
Bears a leaf that shall not fade.
The hymn was published in A Collection of Psalms and Hymns in 1851 by Bishop George Horne.
