Original Sampler Models ~ For Sale ~

Welcome dear needlefolk friends ~

I'm keeping cool inside today...very hot and humid!

Days like this are great for finding 

inspiration in a good book...

This is an older book copyright 1994,

but each and every page (160) will fill you with a 

sense of calmness!

"Paradise on earth" is how Tasha describes 

her garden, she lives off the land with flowers and 

vegetables providing her food!

Her paradise is filled with an enchanting

menagerie ~ corgies, Nubian goats, cats, chickens,

fantail doves, and forty or more exotic finches, 

cockatiels, canaries, nightingales, and parrots!

Tasha's house was a hand~hewn home

in New England and she lived a nineteenth 

century legendary lifestyle...she sadly 

passed away several years ago!

Tasha was also a wonderful watercolor artist,

author and illustrator, publishing many

books in her lifetime.

It's fascinating to read about Tasha's 

gardening secrets! 

Her enchanting books will dazzle you with

 her beautiful gardens and inspire you with practical

ideas about improving your own plots of land!

I decided it's time to start parting with original

sampler models that I stitched and framed

during the years of being a shop owner

for Salem Stitchery (2007~2013)...

This wonderful Halloween sampler was hand stitched,

finished and framed by me, the sampler is dated

2009 with my initials TB.

The pattern was from Carriage House Samplings.

I stitched the sampler on 32ct Lakeside Linen

"Vintage Autumn Gold" using overdyed 

threads by WDW and Gentle Art.

The finished sampler is mounted into a 

quality black frame.

This sampler is looking for a new home,
