El patchwork és una tradició americana que va començar quan els colonitzadors que arribaven d'Europa es trobaven amb una indústria tèxtil en els seus inicis, i cada retall de roba era un petit tresor. Cada peça de roba era reciclada per a un nou ús, i fins i tot els retalls massa usats es feien servir de farciment.
Les figures geomètriques petites eren la base de les labors de patchwork: els triangles, rombes, rectangles i quadrats eren retallats i cosits per fer-ne cobre-llits, cortines o fundes de coixí.

I'm meeting this afternoon with an owner of a restaurant who may be willing to host us for Cupcake Camp Paris.
I've learned to never assume that people here know what a cupcake is. I'm hoping these will clarify the matter and perhaps sweeten the deal.
These are:
1 Rolo Over Beethoven
1 Choco-Raspberry Berry Berry Good
and minis: Choco-Butter, Vanilla Lovers, Storm and I Want (Cotton) Candy.
Fingers crossed!
Finished! I took this to a conference with me, added more density to the grassy area, added the tree and flowers, and ripped out the rain and replaced it with clouds and a few drops. And NOW I'm happy with it!
I finally got started on the Woodland Sampler by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. :)
I am stitching this on 32-count Vintage Pearled Barley by Lakeside Linens, with Comso floss.
This is a sampler worked by Ann Harrison in 1812. The text reads 'Wealth may take wings and riches fly away, God is a rock that never will decay'.
The first part of the phrase is taken from Proverbs 23:4-5 which reads 'Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.'

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.
During the summer months who wouldn't want to sit back and enjoy some different craft beers on this handmade beer sampler. There are tags painted right on the board with chalkboard paint to label your beers, this piece was made from flame cherry and accented with an ebony top to display when not in use.
Sampler I made for my sweetie (the linguistics nerd) featuring the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet instead of an alphabet. If you're not familiar with the IPA, find out more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet]here's some information ; the IPA chart I worked by is here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPA_chart_2005.png .
The sampler album was a cheap price taste of a record labels top or new bands, put out as promo for the artists new records, great list on this one! I have a few of these to dust off.
One day I got bored, so I just stared making blocks. All of the blocks I learned as a beginner, all the little tricks I'd picked up along the way, and voila! Pretty soon I had sixteen blocks and a great excuse to use a toile border. :)
Sorry for the funny light spot on the photo, I was holding the quilt up and completely did not think about the bright window right behind me.
This is a sampler worked by Maria Hulett in 1843. The text is from Proverbs 15:13:
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
You can see another one of Maria's samplers here.

This is a sampler from about 1750 to 1900. Unfortunately the silk thread of this sampler is so delicate and damaged that most of the words are impossible to read. It is possible to make out the word God, but no date or name of the person who worked it.

This is a sampler worked by Selener Samuel aged 8 in 1836. The first synthetic dye was discovered in 1856 so all dyes before this date come from natural sources such as plants. This is why the early samplers are often less vibrant than ones made from 1856 onwards, such as the samplers worked by Martha Barnes.

This is a sampler worked by Eliza Holman aged 9 years on 6th May, 1845. The text reads 'Idleness is the root of all evil'. Samplers often have biblical quotes or proverbs worked on them.

Experiments with buttonhole stitch. Some up and down buttonhole, a buttonhole bar and closed buttonhole.
This was at the relatively new Deschutes brew pub in Portland. We got a sampler tray which was a real treat. I think they are the best brewery in America-- bar none. There is a depth and richness to every one of their beers that no other brewery can match.
120 x 120" - a Kaffe from Museum Quilts - This is the sampler quilt inspired by the sundial quilt in the V&A collection. It was a labor of love.
Work in progress on my whitework sampler. I am currently doing a patch in Ukranian Whitework, bottom right.

This is a sampler worked by Esther Shuffle aged 11 years and completed on 13th April 1848.
The text reads
'Next unto God dear parents, I address
myself to you, in humble thankfulness
for all your care and charge on me bestow'd
and means of learning unto me allow'd.'
This verse was popular in lessons and continues
'Go on, I pray, and let me still pursue
Those golden arts the vulgar never knew.'
Elizabeth Emery's sampler has similar text to this one.
