I made this little mini sampler and also the tiny cloth doll from a Gail Wilson kit. Her dress is antique 1800's fabric.
Not the best picture cause it was taken at the very last minute, but you get the idea. For all the gory details, go to: www.ponyinarope.com/archives/2010/06/stitch-story-wedding...
Sampler. Color. Various Hingham buildings and motifs including the harbor. Decorative border. Letters and numbers at the top. The following verse is incorporated into the pattern, which was developed and sold by the Hingham Historical Society in the early 1970s:
"Hingham for beauty
Cohasset for pride
If it wasn't for herring
Weymouth had died!"
Gift of Alexander Macmillan.
In the collection of the Hingham Historical Society [2018.30.1].
I LOVE sun motifs!

As part of the last day of events associated with the hosting of the EGA National Exhibit in Morris, Minnesota, Carole Johnson and Susan Gilbert presented Randee Hokanson (Director, Stevens County Museum) and Athena Kildegaard (Coordinator, Prairie Renaissance Cultural Alliance) with samplers commemorating the hosting of the exhibit.
Carole's sampler for Randee is on the left and Susan's sampler for Athena is on the right, laid out among a variety of other examples of local needle work.

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.
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.
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.
Beecher's cheddar, Hook's blue cheese, Brie Brûlée, caña de oveja with crackers, olives, cornichons, marionberry jam, dijon mustard and honey.
The three of us shared this tasty sampler plater and had a nice time together.

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.
For some reason, this block gave me fits. It's just a bunch of flying geese units. The design is given its appearance by careful color placement.
This is actually my second attempt at the block, and I ended up paper-piecing it so I wouldn't set fire to my sewing machine.
the december sampler! very fun stuff!! i contributed my own mini zine and was in the croq holiday cookbook.
