Adam & Eve Revealed...

Welcome dear needlefolk friends!

It was so peaceful working in my office today,

because I got to enjoy the first snowfall,

I love watching big fluffy snowflakes 

drifting in the air!

Earlier this week was spent framing 

the Adam & Eve Sampler I've been 

working on, and now I'm finally

ready to share with you!

First, a little close up...

The beguiling serpent! 🐍

Adam & Eve Revealed...

"Mary Wood 1837"

Antique Reproduction A & E Sampler

©2018 Scattered Seed Samplers

Model is stitched on 36ct Dixie Sampler "Apple Butter" linen,

using overdyed threads by WDW and Gentle Art.

Stitch count ~ 239W by 239H

This early 19th century sampler is stitched with a central Tree of Knowledge,

 complete with entwined serpent and Adam & Eve standing beneath its

fruit laden branches.

  Each figure has a Pomegranate motif to their side with floral urns 

above each.

The upper section has the verse, and provenance details which are 

adorned with birds on fruit branches.  The sampler is

surrounded by a meandering carnation border.

~ Verse ~

Satan their prince soon laid a snare

For Adam and Eve that happy pair

They sinned against their God's advice

And lost the sweets of Paradise

~ Provenance ~

The original 181 year old sampler was stitched by Mary Wood,

January of 1837, who was from the United Kingdom.

Close up of the chosen frame...

When I don't have an antique frame in my stash that will

fit a finished sampler my backup method is ordering a custom 

frame from Hobby Lobby.  

 I love the wood, plus I'm very 

pleased with the quality of this Italian frame!
