Selling the Ideas of our Girl Clubs:
We know at Country Sampler handwork can not only be healing and inspiring but a way to stay connected to friends that have the same interests as you have. We would like to invite you to join us for a year and get acquainted with our favorite designers.
Our design team is committed to sharing their love of handwork and great design by reproducing an antique favorite or giving you a modern twist that is sure to be an heirloom that inspires your imagination and turns into a project that makes you the “Maker” happy.
FYI: For anyone joining one of our clubs it is your responsibility to call us with updated credit card information or a new address. You are in the club until you say you do not wish to continue. We ask you to honor your commitment for a year. Thank you for being mindful. Our number is 608-588-2510 or email stchgirl@yahoo.com.
2026 Schoolgirl Threads of History
A Schoolgirl Sampler Club
Our 2026 great design team this year is as follows: Robin Mayer from Little Robin Designs will be our first designer, Theresa Vennett from Shakespeare’s Peddler is next, Linda Lautenschlager from Chessie & Me will follow and Vickie Jennett from NeedleWorkPress is scheduled for our last club project.
Welcome to my obsession and passion. A great old sampler, an interesting border, an amazing house, motifs that speak to you, trees, bands of alphabet are all factors in my mind that make a great sampler. For the most part our sampler selections are dated around the 1800’s and are from our designers’ private collections. This year is special as each designer will be doing a bonus project that will be shipping with your kits. We are not kitting those but of course would be able to kit any of them if you so desire. You only need to let us know. Robin’s sampler is scheduled to ship in April 2026 if all goes according to what we are hoping for.
We can help you choose your favorite comfort zone count of linen. We offer 18 count Aida, & 32, 36, 40 and 46 count linen. We use many suppliers for our linens and overdyed threads that are typically pleasing and remind you of our recognizable style.

Please Join our 133 In House Quilt Club
Design Team: Mary Boldt and Barbara Voss
This is the team that keeps the fire lit under our quilters. It may be a table topper, wall art, a small quilt or even a larger quilt, it could be all pieced or we might give you a taste of applique. You might find we will give you a project for the season or a holiday favorite. The girls are so inspired by our fabric choices we all thought you might like to have a taste of what makes them great team players at Country Sampler. Looking at some great happy Birthday America ideas that will be on the list this year. Hope you can join us for some piecing fun.
