I learned to stitch at age 9, when I made a small pansy wall hanging for my mother. It hung in my parent’s bedroom until they sold their house in 2015. I became interested in samplers after I graduated from college and began teaching high school chemistry. I began collecting antique samplers about 20 years ago and now have a collection that includes samplers from England, Scotland, France, Portugal and the Netherlands as well as samplers from 10 states. My favorite samplers are Scottish samplers and Red Schoolgirl samplers. I also enjoy crochet, knitting and reading.
