One of five Vogart colonial samplers listed in F.W. Woolworth Co. advertising pamphlet promoting its Vogart Needlecraft Novelties line for the spring of 1940. The copy describes them as 'charming and quaint samplers - size 12 x 15 - stamped on good quality pure linen.'
This is a sampler worked by Jemima Shakespear in 1804. It charts the births and deaths of her brothers and sisters, possible at Coventry Workhouse. Jemima's parents were married in 1773 and over the next 25 years had 18 children, 7 of whom were still alive in 1804.
This sampler demonstrates the all too common tragedy of infant mortality and is made more poignant that some of the names - David, Hannah, Mary and Martha - have been used for more than one child.
You can see a similar sampler here.
Jemima was the 14th child to be born (in 1791) but at that time only had 4 surviving brothers and sisters. It is not surprising then when, at 14, Jemima came to work a sampler she chose to record her family history rather than a religious or moral verse.
This sampler is currently on display in the Hazards of Life section of our History Gallery.

This is a sampler worked by by Harriett Line aged 12. The '88' after Harriett's aged probably refers to the year 1888. This would fit with the colour and style of the piece - the bright colours were possible after the discovery of synthetic dyes in 1856.
The text reads
Remember me when this you see
and do my failings all forgive
Twine a fair wreath around my name
and let it on they memory live.

This was a sampler I did for my sisters wedding gift. Each line was taken from a project in a book called 'ethnic needlepoint', and modified to suit the project. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. This was my first quest into (kinda) designing for myself.
The colours have photographed very true to life. It is a vibrant piece, which was the aim.
