Rather than making a book with attached pages, I am leaving the samplers like a deck of cards. I put two samples back to back and sewed them together.
While considering how to compile them, I came across a napkin holder in my stash of vintage textiles. Seemed perfect to protect and contain my samples. So I stitched the title and my name on it. Still need to sew the last sides together and remove basting threads. Then I will make a video to share.
TAST sampler so far - top to bottom, it's fly stitch, buttonhole stitch, feather stitch, open cretan stitch, and the leaves in the last row are supposed to be closed cretan stitch, but I'm not convinced I did it right.

The Russian vodka sampler at Barca on Capitol Hill. The best one by far, was the Kutskova vodka. Mmmm... good stuff. Shot at the Februrary Views and Brews.

Caught up on the 365 Challenge Quilt Sampler today.
Still pulling from my scrap bins - I had to dig through my strip bins for neutrals strings that were long enough for the piecing directions.
Sampler spinning from top I got from an etsy store. Very green and pink! I spun it from the fold so it got a very mixed effect (as opposed to preserving the striping). I like this. :) I think it's merino? About 14 yards.
De Fil en Aiguille Hors série N°11 Samplers et Marquoirs
Fabric: Legacy Linen 34ct Wren Wing
Thread: Vikki Clayton floss Heartwood 1 over
This sampler was designed by Full Circle Designs and included many specialty stitches, some beads and two rows of flax that were couched into place. The berries at the bottom were constructed with beads. The large stars in the sky were done in a metallic braid. The fabric is linen. I love the eyelets in the tree at the bottom.
