Thank you, Louise Bailey.  Our needlework history is important.  Stitched
samplers - documents - also help with genealogy research about our ancestors.

In the U.S., the Sampler Archive Project is currently attempting to document
all American samplers, which is to be a great free data base available to
all.  There is a 20-page pdf describing this at:

roject.pdf


and, this is also interesting:

time.html  


It is possible the U.K.'s samplers are also being documented by researchers.
 The historic samplers held in the U.K.'s museums have received a great deal
of attention in my library, with comprehensive references sent to Arachne in
August 2014.  Some remarkable samplers are executed in needle lace.  If
interested, please go to our archive for references:

Carol Humphrey, the Honorary Keeper of Textiles at The Fitzwilliam, is a
recognized expert on "Quaker School Girl Samplers from Ackworth"  (no lace).
 You can G**gl* search that title to learn about her 2006 232-page hardback
published by Needleprint, ISBN 978-0-9552086-1-4.  You'll not find needle
lace samplers.  You will find marking and literacy samplers - alphabets,
lists of family members, texts inspired by religion, maps, and their famous
medallion designs that could be reproduced today into wonderful cross stitched
ornaments.

You can also access Amazon to see what is currently available by Carol
Humphrey, as recommended by Louise.
