This is a sampler worked by This is a sampler worked by Elizabeth Newsome in about 1809. Elizabeth later became Mrs Lomas and was the sister of Samuel Newsome, Mayor of Coventry in 1853. We have three of Elizabeth's samplers in the Herbert's collection, you can see the others here and here.
SH.1949.17.1
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.
We have graduated a step and developed this piece to teach the next level of needlepoint. Learn to lay threads, use multi-layer stitches, and work with a variety of threads.

The vegetable sampler at Aroma, an Indian restaurant in the Shirlington section of Arlington, Virginia -- pakoras, samosa, and aloo tikki ($6.95).
Mixing my color scraps for the 'main' fabric and printed whites for my background fabric, I created a completely unique look and layout for Tula Pink's Modern Sampler.

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.

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.
Haven't finished this yet, but at least the top is done! Mom and I took a class at the Quilted Moose and this is how my project turned out.

Finished my Woodland Sampler cross stitch from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. I switched up a few colors and changed a little bit here and there, but stuck to the pattern on most of the blocks. Lots of fun.

I started this unembellished band sampler with stitches starting with Week 2. It is actually 28 inches long and this about 1/2 of it. The rest will continue to be done in stitches as the weeks pass.
What a disaster! Can you see all the mistakes? See all all along the right side? All the add in stuff I had to put in? I made so, so, many mistakes it was a disgrace! I made this when I was 28 years old. I am now 36, and have made several more since then. I have learned to "count twice, stitch once"! I have one sampler that I am working on now, but to tell the truth, I haven't picked it up in months! Sometimes you just get sick of looking at what you are working on.
