This is a sampler worked by Ethel Jeanette Gardner in the 1800s.
SH.1968.144.4
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.

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...
It took me a really long time to choose the fabrics for this block, but I'm glad I took my time because I'm really happy with how it turned out :)
I have finnished this block now - and will probably blog about it tomorrow but thought you might like to see it
This was created for the embroidery sampler project in my surface design class. The text is from one of my favorite novels, "Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson. It is taken from a part of the story where one of the characters, after returning from the Civil War, enters his father's church and finds an exquisite needlework hanging above the the alter with these words: "The Lord Our God Is a Purifying Fire".
The scene is a beautiful illustration of one of the book's themes: Christianity and violence/nonviolence. It is also a beautiful illustration of historic needlework samplers and their context.
With this piece I am using the quote to speak to contemporary issues of violence.
Another sampler I made up, 49 squares each with a different stitch. 18cm (7.25 inches) sqaure, done on 28ct linen.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.
