Homage to Sampler!
Explore the amazing world of samplers in the
July/August issue of PieceWork. Some form of what we now call
“samplers”—the physical examples of a work that needleworkers used to
remember, communicate, and preserve patterns, stitches, and color
combinations before books and printing—probably were in use circa a.d.
500, and some embroidery samplers excavated in Egypt have been dated to
as long ago as 1250. Long before instant communication, before printing,
even before books, knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, lacemakers, and
sewers relied on their stitched samples and samplers. Sample books and
samplers from the past along with step-by-step instructions for making
your own fill the pages of this special issue. And we’ve included the
winners of our 2010 Heart Ornament contest!
