Evening Stitch-In: Lynne Anderson from Sampler Consortium

Join us for a lecture presented by Lynne Anderson from the Sampler Consortium.

This presentation focuses on “displaced samplers” - schoolgirl embroideries that ended up thousands of miles from their places of origin, carried to new homes by the sampler makers themselves or their descendants. It reveals the lives of adventurous women who stitched these samplers as children and explores how, when, and why their girlhood needlework traveled “by land and by sea,” packed safely within their makers’ trunks amidst other treasured belongings and the necessities for starting a new home.

This group meets monthly on the 4th Tuesday from 7 pm-9 pm.

LOCATION:  This group meets hybrid. Those meeting in person will meet at MVUUF and those by videoconference will find a link on the Member Resources page.
