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.

Here are a few sneak peeks of a vintage lace sampler I have just finishedt. I am not showing it in its entirety as I am submitting it for publication in the next Sew Somerset magazine and don't want to give too much away yet. (Lots of 20 minute sessions!)

These are really samples of borders. Instead of using the borders for parts of other cross stitch, I stitched the whole page! There are three pages of this book I did. Ten years old now.
I am a sucker for samplers alpha or borders or anything sample like. I also like shadow cross stitch.
Action sampler with Qiagen logo, A 35mm camera with four lenses designed to take four sequential photos.
For Week 1, we did a sampler of a scene from nature (lots of pesticides in OUR water, eh?) using a variety of stitches. I used tapestry wool on black felt, attached afterwards to foamcore to keep the shape, lettering is cotton floss. The frog is perle cotton 3. Of course I used waste canvas to do the lettering! (People sometimes give me too much credit.) The couched "log" is handspun yarn cast-on to a plastic drinking straw. Stitches for the sampler: backstitch, straight stitch/seed stitch, running stitch, chain stitch, satin stitch, cross stitch, star stitch, French knots, fly stitch, couching, and the frog is made of bullion knots.
Situated on 123 acres, Inniswood Metro Gardens is a continual source of inspiration for central Ohioans of all ages. A natural woodland is home to native wildflowers, wildlife and waterways which provides a majestic backdrop to the beautifully landscaped gardens and lawns.
I made this project: Seasonal Sampler for Hero Arts Blog: Everything Autumn! Harvest, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

I've finally finished and framed my spring sampler stitchery. Pattern & blogged at bakercourt.blogspot.com
I've been finding myself very drawn to samplers lately - I'm not sure why, but I guess I love the idea of girls and women creating some sort of record and example of their needlework. I love the look and feel of old samplers - the general composition of them - but not the old graphics they used. I thought it would be fun to do a Sublime Stitching Sampler, so I dug through all my Sublime Stitching transfers (in the book and a few transfer packs) and put this together. I'm not 100% satisfied with the final stamping (I rushed and got a few bits crooked) but I think it's going to be fun to work on for a while. I'm taking pictures of finished bits as I go along. Eventually, it will be framed and hung in my office/craft space. :)
This is a sampler worked by Ann Williams in October 1805.

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.

Background cloth is recycled cotton bedsheet subjected to various surface treatments including rusting, molding, dyeing and rubbings. These are the same dyes and threads used in my earlier TAST 2012 samplers which were worked on Aida cloth.
for size comparison, against my fruit canes. gotta make more whole fruits though, ran out making these samplers.
A small sampler to try out some new textures in a ‘star and cross’ pattern I recently came across in a book, ‘Islamic Art in Detail’ (a publication from The British Museum Press, ed. Sheila R. Canby, 2005, pp74-77). Some of the textures are more successful than others but then that’s why this is termed a ‘sampler’ and not a finished zentangle.
