Stitching the Modern Day Sampler


Adult Enrichment / Fine Arts & Crafts -
Winter 2025

There is a reason embroidery samplers have been around for centuries. Traditionally one of the first pieces of embroidery a new stitcher would work on, they also recorded information about stitches and recorded patterns for future use before paper was plentiful. In modern embroidery, samplers are a great way to learn and improve your hand stitching. We’ll practice some of the basic stitches—running, back, stem, chain, seed, and the French knot. Then you’ll use a pattern to create your own sampler, personalizing it through your selection of color and stitches. Beginners and intermediate stitchers are welcome.

Please note: An assortment of embroidery thread, needles, base fabrics, and sampler designs will be provided. Students should bring scissors and a bag for transporting items
