They are such treasures. Many were made in Belgium, Netherlands and UK but we see more American samplers post Civil War when school curriculum became more standardized. Many were done like band samplers with the different seams, etc neatly identified by the students. Books tend to appear more towards the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. My mother made sewing samplers in elementary school in the early 1930s and I made a sampler book of sorts in 7th grade home ec in the 1960s. Just love them!Lenna DeMarcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893630460769297059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-18649281230042352972019-10-02T16:54:55.722-05:002019-10-02T16:54:55.722-05:00I love this little treasure!

They are useful, for example when I was trying to remember how to make a bound buttonhole! Now we have the Internet to look up things, but not so back in the day. I still have mine. And I am planning on making a another one for the many stitches my sewing machine makes, one of these days.ConnieB/CAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543178198309561325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-26524712182494083902019-09-30T15:44:55.329-05:002019-09-30T15:44:55.329-05:00There were also distance learning sewing workbooks...There were also distance learning sewing workbooks. Examples were pasted into the book after each lesson. <br />Some “finished” books were also used as portfolios for employment when coursework was finished. Small clothing pieces are sometimes mistaken for doll clothes.<br />I will be showing some in my study center at AQSG.

We make a block to learn it, to figure it out, to have it as a reference, to, perhaps, decide if we want to make an entire quilt from it. <br /><br />My aunt, Pauline Hanson Cleary, was born on a farm in Nebraska in the mid-1890s. She was well-educated — she was a school, teacher — but she preferred to “sample” a crochet pattern rather than simply write down the directions. One Christmas she gave my sister a doll afghan; the piece was a sample of a pattern she’d encountered on a trip. She came home and made a couch-sized afghan, then gave the sample to my sister for her dolls.
