Pierogies, stuffed cabbage, potato pancake, kielbasa, sauerkraut. Overall, it was just ok, not something we'd get again.
I had so much fun making this sampler! And I love seeing it in the hallway as I walk out of my bedroom every morning.
For Strobist Sundays: Metal
This metal Whitman's sampler box came in handy for this weeks theme.
Nikon P90 ISO 64 f/4.0
I used a 30 watt CFL at the edge of the tin to allow shadow to bring out the detail in the design.
This is a sampler worked by Annie Davies aged 11 years in 1882. It is not always possible to tell where the samplers in the collection are from, and often the donor's themselves don't know. However the donor of this sampler was the neice of Annie and told us she was born and lived in Coventry.
The text reads
The loss of time is much, the loss of truth is more;
the loss of Christ is such that no-one can restore.
Many samplers worked by girls in the 1800s were mounted and hung in their homes. Round the edge of this work you can see the rust holes where nails pinned it to a board or stretcher for display.

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.

Border Sampler. Did these ten years ago.
These are really samples of borders. Instead of using the borders for parts of other cross stitch, I stitched the whole page! There are three pages of this book I did.
I am a sucker for samplers alpha or borders or anything sample like. I also like shadow cross stitch.
A scan from a old coppy of Future Music magazine..year was 2000
Some of the information printed regarding the samplers is incorrect too! And it also misses a few models like the first version of the 3200 and various versions of the S-1000/3000 family.
I wanted an Akai so bad at the time..never could afford one..always used to look at that page lol
My First Akai was a S2800 with 2Meg of ram! which I upgraded to a massive total of 10 if I can remeber right lol
This is a sampler worked by Sarah Booth completed on 22nd November 1838.
The text reads
Let gratitude in acts of goodness flow
Our love to God in love to man below
Be this our joy to calm the troubled breast
Support the weak and succour the distrest [sic]
Direct the wand'rer, dry the widows tear
The orphan guard, the sinking spirits cheer.
Sarah Booth's Work November th22 1838
The poem, Love to God Produces Love to Men, continues
Tho’ small our pow’r to act, tho’ mean our skill,
God sees the heart;—he judges by the will.

Found a cute pendant frame at Michael's, removed one of the panes of plastic inside (you're supposed to sandwich a picture in there) and wrapped the other in fabric with some of my favourite stitches right now. From the top: up and down button stitch, double straight stitch, thorn stitch, open blanket stitch and tiny chain stitch. Chain stitches are something I need to work on. Over long distances they always look overstretched and sad. To the doodle cloth!

This is a sampler worked by Martha A Barnes, aged 12 about 1870. This very bright sampler with wool on a linen background. The bright colours indicate that it made after the discovery of sythetic dyes, which allowed cheap production of strong colours such as purple and blue. We do not know where Ranton School is, although there is a village called Ranton School in Staffordshire. If you know anything about A Ranton School which would have been open to girls around 1870 the Herbert would be interested to hear from you.
You can see another one of Martha's samplers here.

Dessert Sampler
For dessert, the pastry chef offered a "tasting" of various house desserts.
Torta di Limone e Ricotta (left)
Chocolate-Pistachio-Sour Cherry Biscotti: (far back) These were okay, but a similar version www.flickr.com/photos/ulteriorepicure/319015622/ (right)
Espresso Wafers: (foreground) Thoroughly boring. My friends and I ended up using them as a vehicle for the melted gelato. Ooops, was that out loud? *Oink*
I think this was susposed to be done in red, but I did it in a pinkish color instead. I'll always remember this sampler for two reasons. The first is because most of it was stitched at my mom's bedside at ICU when she had a sudden heart attack in her early fiftes. The second reason, is, when I finally finished this piece - my yongest son (who was two at the time) grabbed a blue magic marker and drew on it! I got most of it out, but there are still some faint lines at the bottom that will never come out. This picece is haunted by bad memoires.
