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.
This water sampler is lowered into the ocean and then the sampling bottles around the outside are capped one at a time to collect water samples as the apparatus is pulled slowly upward through the water column.

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.
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.

A freeform sampler I made, using my favourite stitches and colours. The piece is 20cm (8 inches) in diameter, and worked on 24ct linen.
This quilt is made with blocks from the Quilt Block Exchange. I quilted this as a piece to bring to quilt shops for longarm quiltling referrals.

I deliberately went with lower contrast fabrics with this block. I have a lot of very dark, and a couple of very light, blocks. I need some middle ground to help keep the eye moving over the (eventual) quilt top.
Both prints are Walmart fabrics, and I'm still having some fun playing with fussy-cutting. I've determined that I would NEVER do it for a large quilt, but one off/sampler blocks, I'm okay with fussy-cutting.
This is a sampler worked by Ann Bray aged 10. It was finished 29th March 1826.
The text reads
Go like your heavenly Father feed the poor
And carry comfort to the sick mans door
Think of your heavenly Fathers love to you
And imitate his love in all you do
Mercy shall then your early steps attend
And from the snares of Death your paths defend.
The first verse finishes
Pity the widow, be the orphan's friend
And if you cannot give them, freely lend
The hymn continues
For you the poor man's prayers shall reach heaven
And blessings more than you can ask be given
And when the righteous Judge from heaven descends
Before the world he'll own you for his friends.

This is a sampler worked by Mary Tyler. It was finished 30th December 1810.
The text reads
1
O Lord divine how sweet thou art
When I shall find my willing heart
All taken up by thee
I thirst I faint I die to prove
2
O that I could for ever sit
With Mary at the masters feet
by this my happy choice
My only care delight and bliss
My joy my heaven on earth be this
To hear the the bridegrooms voice
3
O that I could with favour'd John
Rest me ? weary head upon
the dear Redeemers breast
From care and ? sorrow free
Give me O Lord to find in thee
my everlasting rest
The words for this hymn were written by Charles Wesley and published in his Hymns and SacÂred PoÂems, volÂume I in 1749.
