Block 2 of Layer Cake Sampler

I bought this sampler at the post thrift store while we were stationed in Germany. Everytime we move, it is one of the first things I hang up.

This is a sampler worked by Mary Mallaber July and finished on 31st July 1821.

 

Love and fear god, Obey your parents, Jesus my all to heaven is gone.

He whom I've fixed by hopes upon.

His track I see and I'll pursue the narrow way till him I view.

This is the way I long have sought, and mourned because I found it not.

Till late I heard my saviour say come hither soul I am the way

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.

Sampler for the Tyra Banks Show filmed at the Magic Kingdom. Shortbread Cookies with Raspberry Jam, Strawberry Tiramisu, White Chocolate Cherry Cupcake, Chocolate Mousse with Chocolate Caviar.

This sampler top is now complete with borders and ready for quilting. Thanks to the gals of Twice as Nice Bee to help me with some of these blocks!

This is a sampler worked by Jane Harrison in 1814.

 

The text reads

God is so good that he will hear whenever children humbly pray,

He always lends a gracious ear to what the youngest child can say'.

This verse was probably taken from Lectures to the Young by Robert May, missionary which was published in 1812.

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.

At 3 Brewers in Ottawa, Ontario.

 

Can't remember which ones, now, though I can guess the one on the left is a stout or porter, the one on the right is a witbier, but not sure about the two in the centre. That's the problem when you don't upload pics soon enough, sometimes. :)

With not much time to spend stitching, I played with the little butterflies and created a couple of dragonflies.

The next row is a combination of fly stitch and some straight stitches.

The last row is a number of varied wrapped or woven stitches.

The 1st is wrapped longarm chain stitch. 2nd is a round pearl washer wrapped outside. the middle 3 are woven, bullion stitch, long arm pistol stitch over 3 little beads. Detached chain over a pony bead, and the last is just varied straight stitches worked in a circular movement.

I've been trying to get digital pictures of all the quilts I've ever made---quite a job! There are more than I realized. This one was made in 2004 and quilted in 2005, just because I wanted to make a pink sampler quilt!

Sampler

Vogart colonial sampler stamped on pure linen. Listed in S.S. Kresge Co. advertising pamphlet promoting its Vogart Needlecraft Novelties line for the spring and summer of 1935. States that Vogart NY is a N.R.A [National Recovery Act] member No. 31-29. Instructions suggest the use of six strand cotton floss for embroidering the crosstitch pattern.

Here is my sampler for week 8 - I have found this simple stitch quite facinating and certainly it deserves more investigation. I think I will definately use this in future designs..
