Queen City Sampler Guild

Welcome!

The Queen City Sampler Guild is a nonprofit educational organization whose purpose is to promote the art of sampler making, both historic and contemporary, the study of sampler history, and the preservation of antique samplers. We are based in Cincinnati, Ohio, although our members are from all over the region and the country. Cincinnati is also known as The Queen City, which is how our name originated.
