A tutorial for a modern bargello block, as part of the Something New Sampler series. Blogged here: thecutelifesmiles.blogspot.com/2013/01/something-new-samp...
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.
I have finnished this block now - and will probably blog about it tomorrow but thought you might like to see it
Stitched on Lakeside Linens Vintage Autumn Gold (32ct). If stitching 2 over 2 as I did, you will probably need a 2nd skein of the Buckeye Scarlet GAST.
patch d'une cliente; le quilting améliore nettement le patch, fais vibrer le fond beige et met en valeur les blocs piécés; les plumes dans les bordures encadre bien le tout.
What they might look like lined up together. They are square, so I would turn them and play with them until I could get flowing from one piece to the next.
This is a sampler worked by Frances Kelsey aged 10 years in about 1820. We have another sampler worked by Frances Kelsey in the collection. It is dated 1820 and as it is much more complex than this one it was probably made slightly later. Unforuantely at some point before this sampler came to the museum it has been cut across the centre but is otherwise in very good condition.

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.
Just little bits and pieces of projects. They're not personal so I can't show the whole pieces, just insignificant snippets.
These places and characters are all based off photos and information from the 1930s-40s.

From the top right hand corner: a daffodil pattern, a peacock, steampunk cogs, and koi (carp).
The daffodil pattern is from blackworkarchives.com/bw_flwrs.html
One of my collection of samplers.
This one is modern but based on traditional designs. It is dated 2000. I found it on Kettering market in 2009.
Pierogies, stuffed cabbage, potato pancake, kielbasa, sauerkraut. Overall, it was just ok, not something we'd get again.
I found this sampler in an antique store in Saskatoon. It is a sampler from a Hutterite Colony. There are many of those colonies in the prairie provinces.
this is the bottom part of the sampler
This is a sampler worked by Catherine Palmer of Spratton and was finished 6th August 1856.
The only village called Spratton currently in existence is in Norhamptonshire, so Catherine might well be from there.
The text reads
Jesus permit thy gracious name to stand
As the first effort of an infants hand
And while her fingers on the canvass move
Engage her tender heart to seek thy love
With thy dear children let her have a part
And write thy name thyself upon her heart.
The same verse also appears on Ann Phillips' and Ann Dunkley's samplers.

It was so nice to have this project almost finished before Sam was born (all that was left was to fill in the birthday and name). I was actually able to finish it in a timely manner this way. Now I just need to find some paper to glue on the back and it will be ready to hang next to Averill's sampler (which is done with the same pattern -- from Blackbird Designs -- and the same threads, the only difference is the linen and the frame.
