Loved all your family stories. It is so important to pass down our stories. They give us courage and strength when we face difficult times, knowing that those who proceeded us got through all of their hard times. I have several different quaker charts. I am inspired to put one in the pile of WIPs! Also looking forward to see how your box comes along.

I loved hearing about your family history, and I think it’s a genius idea to honor your female relatives with samplers that coincide with their time period and place! I mean it’s just so inspiring and fabulous. Can’t wait to see what you stitch first 💛

This was fascinating to me as I also love Geneology and am fortunate to know quite a lot about both sides of my family. My maternal side were also Quakers and came to the Colonies in the mid 1600s, settling in the New Jersey, Delaware, Philadelphia area. I have fallen in love with Quaker samplers and have plans to do several in memory of them. By the 1800’s they had settled in southern Indiana and most are buried in Orange County. I’ve often wondered what will happen with all our sampler stitching years in the future. I try to always stitch my initials and date in the piece to help prevent confusion. Love the videos!

Love that trim! And glad you found a solution you're happy with - it's hard to get through a big project unless you really like what you're stitching. One note - Diamant is a coated thread so you wouldn't marry it with another floss, and I think it's also quite thick. They've come out with a couple of sizes and I use Accentuate most of the time so there may be a new, thin version, but be sure to do a few sample stitches and make sure it works. The Diamant I have would certainly be much too thick. Those who study historic caskets are always frustrated by the almost total lack of information on the girls who stitched them - for most of these we can't even put a name to the stitcher, let alone anything about her. So I have made very sure to attach my name, and the story for each box to it, so they can't be separated. I hope you'll find a way to include some of your family history, that your Quaker ancestry drew you to this chart, etc etc and make sure that information is glued to the box in addition to your name, year completed etc. The bottom would be an obvious location, or you could make pattern pieces for the interior, cut paper to fit, and write it all down and line the interior of the box with it - that would be something really personal, surprising, and unique to you. Or on the interior edges, just as ciphers or names were sometimes carefully painted on picture frames. There would be a lot of ways to do it but I hope you'll find a way to get this on the box so it's preserved. Whatever was in most of the 17th century caskets to start with has since been lost, with only a few exceptions, so it's a cautionary tale that the really critical information can't just be put inside it, it has to be physically attached. Happy stitching!

I agree, it really needs to be attached. I stitch my name into both my quilts and samplers in a way that can’t be removed. I hadn’t considered how to do it with the box yet. The bottom does seem obvious, but now I wonder if I could come up with a clever idea for the inside. Hmm…

I’m sure you can find some worthy woman in your ancestry to stitch a sampler for. I was just thinking this afternoon that I should probably do one that lists all the women I can’t find maiden names for. It was so easy back then for a woman to barely register as ever having lived. :(

That was a fascinating video. Such rich family heritage you have. I loved the history lesson. I look forward so much to your videos and I’m looking forward to seeing your samplers come to life. I am of Mennonite descent from what was Prussia back in it’s time and when you showed that quilt and you commented on the brightness of the colors not quite being typical I thought that was very accurate. One of my grandmothers once sewed herself and proudly wore a cornflower blue dress and was ostracized in the Menno community for wearing such a bright color! And she was a preacher’s wife which makes it all the more awesome! My grandmother was amazing. She marched to the beat of her own drum.
