The Sampler Family Tree

$150.00 – $165.00

This Individual Correspondence Course with teacher Carolyn Standing Webb will help you to explore the history that is the family tree of samplers with all of the different branches. Samplers reflect so much of the history of the women and girls that stitched them. You will spend several months studying samplers as you narrow your field of interest.

You will then choose your favorite kind of sampler: it can be a historical era (like 17th century), a type of sampler (like Quaker Samplers), a country (like Mexico) or another type with the teacher’s guidance. You will then write several pages about your research, explaining what you learned, why it is your favorite and then stitch a sampler that would be typical of that kind.
This course is at least one third research with the rest being design and stitching.
