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.

Ten blocks that I'm super happy with. I'm already determining which ones I think benefit from being set on point, and I'll have to come up with a setting that will show off both on point and traditionally set blocks.
I've got some catching up to do to get to where I was, but that's all right. I've pre-cut the fabric for another five or six blocks.
I also went through the book, did the quilt-y math, and scribbled my rotary cutting instructions on each block that I determined could be reasonably rotary cut. There's a few that *could* be rotary cut but are on a five by five grid that I'm debating my plan of attack for.
