Looking for some feedback on a poster. Full images could be found in our photostream at flickr.com/photos/thqyouth.
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.
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.
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.
Here is my row of the week sampler
you can see
week 1 herringbone
week 2 blanket stitch
week 3 lazy daisy

A freebie pattern I got somewhere online, slightly adjusted to fit the year and my initials.
The fabric was originally a bread cloth. And the checked fabric on the outside...oh my, don't ask how much I paid for that, it was something in the region of €20 PER METRE! (I told you, patchwork fabric is expensive here...)
My turn to choose the block this time -Called "Another Star" the pattern is from: www.freshlemonsquilts.com/solstice-stars-series-another-s...

My third set of enamel samplers.
I've tried to photograph the colours as accurately as possible. On my screen, the colours are quite true, with the exception of Rich Ruby Red (which you have to tilt to the light to see a deep dark red) but feel free to ask questions.
My personal favourite from this group is Soyer Jewellery Enamels 111 Pale Lilac, which will get some extra testing ;)
All comments and experience sharing welcome & feel free to link to any colour tests of your own! :)

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..
Read about it here:
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.
My test of machine stitched lines on scrim reminded me of an old stitchery band sampler, so I decided to add different embroidery stitches between the lines (incorporated most of the TAST- Take a Stitch Tuesdays- stitches to date). Still have some sections to fill. I tacked the scrim to silk duppioni to add some stability.
This is my first free on line tutorial for thai quilters. I used EQ5 patterns that I designed by myself. It was fun!
