	Prologue - Prologue: Selected Articles
		The crisply executed sampler documenting the births of the children of Peter Booth and Mary Leonard did not prove compelling enough evidence for the application of some of their children in the 1850s.
		A few years after receipt of the sampler, the Pension Office reexamined the Booth case and not only questioned whether the Peter Booth whose family applied for a pension was the same person as the man who served in the Revolution, but the marriage was called into question, as well.
		Samplers and other needlework are among the textile collections of numerous art museums and historical societies.

	Sampler (needlework) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A (needlework) sampler is a piece of embroidery produced as a demonstration or test of skill in needlework.
		The earliest dated surviving sampler, housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, was made by Jane Bostocke who included her name and the date 1556 in the inscription.
		A border was added to samplers in the 17th century, and by the middle of the 17th century alphabets became common, with religious or moral quotations, while the entire sampler became more methodically organised.

	Needlework - Sampler
		Sarah Hinchcliffe Kummer wrote to her daughter, Caroline, a student at the Moravian Seminary for Young Ladies in Bethlehem, in 1833 or 1834.
		Samplers allowed girls to learn practical stitchery, as proper housekeeping required that all clothing and household linens be marked with the initials of the owner.
		The German language, commonly used in Moravian schools through the early 19th century, did not have an equivalent sound to the letter "J", and so the letter was not considered a proper letter.

	Southern Decorative Needlework
		Needlework was an acceptable area in which they could allow their fancies to roam and could also work to achieve perfection (Lebsock 43).
		Another explanation of damage to some southern needlework is the fact that many examples are in the hands of private owners or in the care of small societies or museums without specific conservation training in the care of textile artifacts.
		Many samplers and other objects of northern decorated needlework early found their way into museums and thus have enjoyed better preservation than their southern counterparts, which are still largely in the loving but occasionally faulty hands of the family or the small, unaccredited museum.

		A needlework sampler “wrought July 9 1813” when she was 12 years old, was recently identified on Cape Cod.

	Shakespeare's Peddler
		When I asked her, if by not having the samplers professionally dry cleaned to remove the stains before framing, would the stains around the edges (right where the fabric had been previously turned, stapled to the non-acid free cardboard) and the stains on the piece itself eventually bleed into more of the fabric.
		Remember, samplers were often made as learning tools to be stored inside a sewing kit, so putting a pretty finished edge on the samplers made them stay together (edges do fray) as well as look nice.
		Remember that your sampler is going to be "raised" up off your backing material, so if you want to put glass on your piece, be sure you have a spacer, or several mats to keep your piece away from the surface of the glass.

	HOME SWEET HOME SAMPLER
		After you have finished stitching the sampler, wash in lukewarm water, towel dry, and then iron dry with the stitching face down on a padded surface.
		For mounting it on the wall, I'd suggest cutting out a piece of thin posterboard that is smaller than the frame and then using either a thin disk of Fun-tak or the repositionable glue type product to attach it to the wall.
		P.S. - of course, you could also frame the embroidery the traditional way - with an actual frame, but if you're not into framemaking, this is a nice alternative.
