From the Designer:

Ten years ago, I released the first iteration of this sampler called Love, Peace, & Tenderness. As I am celebrating my 15th anniversary this year, I have been looking at some of my older designs and updating some of them. I felt this design needed a little TLC, and it was wonderful to go back over it and make a few small changes while keeping the overall design pretty much the same.

This sampler could best be seen as a piece of historical fiction in the style of a Quaker sampler. For the model on the cover of this booklet, I created the character of Eleanor Stickney. It is based on the last name found on an unfinished medallion sampler in the York Museum Trust’s collection (see the back of this booklet). This sampler was possibly the work of Jane Stickney, a student at Ackworth from 1829 through to her untimely death in 1835. 

That sampler, dated 1832, features a medallion with the text “Peace to my Friend” (a quote which I used on a different sampler). It also shows an enslaved man in chains - the emblem used by the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade (see image below). Quakers were at the forefront of the abolition movement, and the first anti-slavery statement dates as far back as 1688 and was written by Dutch and German Quakers in Pennsylvania. At Ackworth School, a Gala Day was held in 1834 for the ‘Commemoration of the Emancipation of the Slaves of the British Colonies’. 

One of the features that was changed from the original sampler were the alphabets at the top of the sampler. I based the new alphabets on two samplers in my personal collection - both worked in Ireland in the 19th century (see image on page 2 of this booklet).

The quote on the sampler is by Isaac Penington, an early Quaker from the 17th century who wrote several books and was imprisoned many times for his faith (as were many of his fellow Friends). It was taken from a letter that he wrote whilst imprisoned, to the Friends of Amersham (his neighbours). The letter is printed on the next page.

- Floss is carded and packed for you by hand in a smoke free, pet friendly workshop.

Test a small sample if you intend to wash, esp darker colours. It has been rinsed and set carefully and should be colourfast - but always better safe than sorry.

Colour of floss may vary slightly from my monitor to yours 

Happy Stitching!
