| Inspired
by the collections of Colonial Williamsburg |
A sampler tells a story, capturing
the events and emotions of a particular time. The
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's important collection
of samplers and needlework, dating from the 17th century
to the mid-19th century, includes a diverse selection of
British and American needlework that help us trace the
roots of their makers and better understand the world in
which they lived. The samplers and individual design
elements of this collection are taken from samplers and
other needlework in the Foundation's collection.
Derived from the Latin
"exemplum" meaning example, samplers usually
included examples of a variety of stitches used as a
teaching tool for young schoolgirls. In addition to
learning practical stitching techniques, lessons in the
alphabet, numbers, religion, art and geography were
reinforced.
With beautiful designs, enticing
colors, and timeless appeal, these fabrics will help
quilters create their own piece of history. |
