Ellen Thompson will be giving a talk on antique samplers next Sunday, May 19th at 1pm at the Emile Gruppe Gallery. She is the manager of the Vermont Sampler Initiative, a project to identify American schoolgirl samplers made before 1900. Her talk on antique samplers will focus on how these important historical "documents" help to inform us about our past.

As a long time embroiderer and history buff, the Sampler Initiative has allowed her the opportunity to enjoy both. She is a member of the Green Mountain Chapter of the Embroiderers Guild of America.

We hope to see you there.
