SAMPLERS FROM ALTMARK AND PRIGNITZ 2.0
In December 1995 we visited the traveling exhibition “Samplers from Altmark and Prignitz” in Havelberg. As part of a joint project by the Altmark Museum Association, the historian Corrie Leitz, with the collaboration of many other museums in the Altmark and Prignitz, developed a traveling exhibition that made this beautiful part of our cultural heritage accessible to a broad public from 1995 to 1997. Following on from this, the Altmärkisches Museum is presenting this rich treasure until September 17, 2023 and enriching it with numerous “application examples”. Loans come from the museums in Osterburg, Havelberg, Genthin and Diesdorf, according to the museum's website. We barely made it and left on September 14th to Stendal. We were thankfully given permission to take photos.

Whitework samplers from the collections of Lorraine Mootz, Margit Guerrein and Sabine Taterra-G.
Whitework samplera are often masterpieces. Worked on the finest batiste with a very fine needle and very thin threads. In Germany they were often made as final projects. A prospective needlework teacher used them to demonstrate her skills. It was only in later years that pre-printed fabrics were used. Individuality was expressed in the design of the name, initials and borders.
