Quaker Sampling VI 

Bobbins (often called spools) aren't a standard size so the chart pak has 3 charts to accommodate various bobbin sizes. The ones for Quaker Sampling VI are the same at the top and the bottom but different in between.  These designs look cute on bobbins but can also be made into a little pillow or just laid on a table to display.  If about 3-inches of linen is added to either side of the stitching, the design can be made into a drum.  There are so many possibilities.

 

Sampler Maker

Bobbins (often called spools) aren't a standard size so each of the bobbin chart pak has charts to accommodate various bobbin sizes.  The 3 designs for the Sampler Maker are very similar.

Samplers from the Warren County Historical Society

 As I was sorting through old photos, I ran across these from the Warren County Historical Society Museum in Lebanon, Ohio.  Taking photos was challenging due to overhead lights and flash reflections on the glass, but I thought you might enjoy seeing these photos anyway.

No matter what I tried, this photo would not upload in the right

orientation, but it is such a wonderful sampler that I decided  to

include it anyway.

These are just a fraction of the samplers in the Warren County Historical Society's collection.

In 2013, I showed some more photos from this wonderful little museum. If you're interested, you can view them at http://withmyneedle-ellen.blogspot.com/2013/03/samplers-friends-and-hot-cross-bunsoh-my.html.  You'll need to go about halfway down the posting to see the photos and write-up.
