contemporary needlework samplers

I am wondering if anyone can point me to some pictures of non-counted-thread, contemporary, needlework samplers? Just doing a bit of research for a class and coming up with a complete blank…

Preferably online, but book references also welcome.

Can you help? Thanks!

    There are a couple of group blogs you may want to look at – one, 39 Square, just finished their samplers, a stitch along sampler with 39 squares – contemporary and not counted thread: http://39squares.blogspot.com/

    Now there is another SAL, Count Your Blessings – which I have decided to participate in, it may give you some ideas as well: http://countedblessingsproject.blogspot.com/

    Thanks Elizabeth. You’re stopping me from going through the wardrobe and Purging my clothes…!

    Just had a look at them (continued on the wardrobe while the pages were loading!) and I love the idea of the squares for the sampler! So different to stock-standard lines of stitches. Hmm… I wonder if that will work for my idea? Thanks for the references, Elizabeth – much appreciated!
