This magazine reaches the four corners of the globe, so if you would like to contact other members of the magazine and make new friends to chat about your joint interests and other past times, send in details of your full name, the country you live in, what you enjoy doing, your hobbies, and provide either your address or e-mail address. A great way to get to know people from around the world.

Each issue of the magazine will include a competition where you can win sampler related prizes, from fabric, materials, books to compact discs. Just answer the question which will be found on the website and the magazine, and e-mail the answer on the contact page. Then keep your fingers crossed!!

All over the country, be it in England, Australia, America........people are grouping together and creating sewing clubs. A great way to meet friends with similar interests and have a chat and a cup of tea at the same time! What a great way of spending the afternoon. If you'd like more members to join your circle, send in details of where and when you can meet, and provide a telephone number, address or e-mail address where they can contact you.

If you provide workshop venues, and would like people to apply to learn a new form of craft, send in details of what you teach, an itinarary with price details, and how you can be contacted.

There are many designers out there who have created work which they would love to share with others. If you have a design and would like it to appear in the magazine, please send in an attachment which includes a clear photograph of the finished article, full material information, and a colour graph. Remember it has to be sampler related, and the clearer the photograph the better. What better way to promote your work and make yourself known to the world of embroidery.

If you want to visit museums which contain a collection of samplers, then this is the page to watch. Information will be provided of location, opening times, admission charges, and ofcourse details of the collection.

In many countries there are excellant exhibitions throughout the year to purchase all your materials and gain design ideas. All the shows will be advertised well in advance so you can organise your trip and purchase your tickets.

It's always good to hear from the people who subscribe to the magazine. When you subscribe you're joining a "club" where everyone enjoys the same thing- samplers - so share with us all what you've been creating, and any ideas and suggestions you may have. Go to the Contact page and send a message.

Remember, this is your magazine and it will have all the items you enjoy reading about, so I look forward to hearing from you.

If you have an event you'd like to let everyone know about which you're organising, send an e-mail with all the information. Make sure you send it in good time so it appears in the magazine early. If you know of anywhere exhibiting samplers or anything connected with samplers, let us know the venue address, the opening times and a contact telephone number or address to write to if further details are required.

You'll find this page jam packed full of new products - from silk threads to needles, fabrics to kits, everything you need to help you create your design where ever you may live. There will be new sampler related sites on the internet to visit too.

Trying to find books on samplers, and failed, well.....here you'll find titles aimed solely on samplers, with a summary of what it has to offer inside. There will be site information of where you can purchase them easily online.

When you consider that the majority of the samplers created centuries ago were created by embroiderers as young as 6 years old, today's children rarely allow time to sit and create the same ideas on fabric. Hopefully, this page may influence a few young starters.

SamplerStitcher's Samplers

If you collect antique samplers and would like them to appear in the magazine, send in a very clear photograph as an attachment. If it has a very unusual story behind it, write in and tell the readers all about it. Some samplers are found in the most strangest of places, or have a very interesting history behind them, which I'm sure readers would love to know.
