There’s nothing better adrenaline rush of opening a box in the archive to find it’s full of 18th century textile samples, drawings of flowers, and little packets that the archivists let you open! Two days in Lyon gave me the most exciting archive finds ever 🥰
Just learnt about these amazing @HunterianLondon samplers. They were made by 11 year old Charlotte Waite, who had her leg amputated after a fall from a carriage seat in 1848. Chloroform was used during the operation, just 7 months after it had first been demonstrated on humans
Sarah Sheppard Bell, a descendant of Elizabeth Hall, stitched this lovely map sampler in Tottenham in 1792. Tottenham was the site of at least one school attended by Quaker girls in the eighteenth century. Sarah’s sampler is more detailed than many contemporary map samplers
Started designing some new business cards. Got distracted by 18th-century trade cards. Made biscuit (cookie) versions of those instead. 🍪
When Miss Emily Hart illustrated the front of the Litchfield (#Connecticut) Female Academy one September in the 1820s or 1830s, the leaves had already started to turn red and orange. 🍂
My article for Piecework Magazine about an unusual sampler is now online: pieceworkmagazine.com/lawful-materia…! Hannah Powell stitched this intriguing, poignant sampler in 1813. The text of the sampler (now at @lacma) is from Almasa Ali Cawn's petition against her husband's execution in India
My author’s copy of the exhibition catalogue Making Her Mark: A History of Women Artists in Europe, 1400-1800 arrived and I’m so excited! I co-wrote an essay on tapestries and woven and embroidered textiles. The show opens at @artbma on Sunday. Can’t wait to see it in November!
Loved seeing so many textiles on display at @colonialwmsburg’s art museums. Saw some items from my PhD thesis and pieces I catalogued in 2018-2019. Here are a 1760 sampler, circa 1745 wax and shellwork shadow box, 1870 sampler (a rare Jewish sampler!), and 1809 map sampler

Anne Jennings worked this sampler near Kolkata, India around 1795. She was a student at an orphan school, taught to stitch by Mistress Parker. This sampler closely resembles six samplers made at the same orphanage under the direction of Parker, now at the @metmuseum (1/2)
Haunting exhibit unveiled today by @marthasjones_ and the Hard Histories team, displaying the names of the girls who were housed in the Wyman Park building on the JHU campus when it was the Johns Hopkins Hospital Colored Orphan Asylum. Very much worth a visit.
