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...

Button samplers with clip to be included in a goody bag in a facebook '250th fan' giveaway.

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!

I finally finished! I added extra blocks to make it bigger. I am really pleased with it.

Sampler to use in an upcoming 3x5" Bottoms-Up swap I'm hosting over at lineweaving.com/forums . Come join the fun!

This is a sampler worked by Ann Williams in October 1805.

SH.1963.98

 

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.
