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. :)
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.

Screw Loose Blone, Ten-Peny Nail Ale, County Jail Pale Ale, Jackalope Brown Ale, Chain Gang Oatmeal Stout and 1897 Jailbreak IPA.
We ordered the citrusy 1897 Jailbreak IPA but I also like the Scottist AleTen-Penny Nail Ale and the citrusy County Jail Pale Ale.

I have only just begun to work on my sampler. I couldn't wait to do the spiderwebs so that is where I started.
Sinds 1990 verwerk ik mijn proeven, restanten, schetsen, ideeen in Samplers van 1 x 1 m. Als een persoonlijk archief, niet te koop.
Vandaag mijn 20e Sampler samengesteld, paardenhaar, perkament, zeemleer, egelpennen...
So far... ; )
I still have some spaces I need to fill, but over all, I'm pretty happy with my first attempt!
I think, next time, I will work with something a bit smaller... lol!
Just before I threw away the broken Oktomat and Action Sampler. They're not built to last; they're toys, after all. August 2008

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.
This is a sampler worked by Ann Ingham, aged 9 in 1839.
This is a particularly finely worked example and the text reads 'Love not sleep lest thou come to poverty'. The quote comes from the Bible - Proverbs, 20:13. The quote continues, 'open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread'. It is advice to get adequate sleep, but not to desire sleep beyond all other things.

"English Sampler worked by Susanna Gellet in 1800 on woollen canvas with coloured silks. Reproduced from the outstanding collection of Samplers in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge."
Our first puzzle of 2022 is from a manufacturer/distributor we'd not heard of before: Willis Toys. A quick search reveals they are still in existence, but this particular jigsaw is some years old and no trace of it remains online as far as I can tell. Thinner pieces - although they fit together well enough - all with regular shapes: 2 knobs, 2 holes, so not as easy as it first appeared.
