[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want to know Wednesday - Craft history

[Henry Osborne]

You made me think of a famous man who drove a jet engined rocket car many, 
many years ago named Craig Breedlove.

Right?

I saw that sampler in an antique sampler shop.  At that point in my life I
had 2 young children and in no way could afford that item.  I so wish I
could go back in time and buy it now.  The sampler was pretty plain, just a
simple alphabet sampler, it was the girl's name that stuck with me...  It
must have as I saw that sampler 25 years ago.

I used to do a lot of counted cross stitch in my sighted days. My particular
favorites included antique sampler reproductions. The samplers were ways for
young girls to learn their alphabets along with practicing the skills needed
to sew their wedding linens. Occasionally one will find a sampler that was
done by a boy. When the boy had been confined for reasons like illness he
would be given tasks that could be done from the confines of his bed. One of
these tasks would be learning his alphabet by making a sampler. Samplers
also illustrated family lineage or could be done in memorial of a deceased
family member. Samplers could have all kinds of motifs, pictures, scripts,
and embroidery techniques. One could often tell what school a girl went to
by the motifs found in her samplers. One of the most interesting girl's
names I found in an antique sampler was "Freelove Hazzard." Makes one think,
doesn't it? Dixie @->+<-@ _______________________________________________
