This amazing, unprecedented English sampler illustrates so many unique and bold elements of design, stitched in a balanced way inside a four-sided strawberry border. In all my decades of study I've never seen an antique sampler with quite this much bizarre personality.
The original sampler is a charmer, and can you believe Felicie was only 7? As always, my charts come with a little essay about the antique, and my thoughts about what make the sampler special, in this case, those beautiful, organic borders, the color palette, the airy space contained within, and the...

Inspiration comes, sometimes, from unusual places. I had this frame I picked up a few years back, and actually designed it to fit the frame! (I believe it's still widely-available at custom frame shops). The verse is from an old sampler I saw years ago, and because I was constrained by space, I just... Read more

I'm certainly not the only one who had a parent or grandparent who would sing this precious song to them from time to time as a child, maybe at bedtime or when we were feeling under the weather. So this design is dedicated to my dear Daddy, who showered me with this song and many others, and taught... Read more
Note from the designer: I really wanted to showcase all sorts of new life with this piece, and it was such fun to work on all the animals! I also divided it (loosely) into 4 habitats, so with a little bit of finagling (each band contains some element that extends past the top into the next one) you... Read more
Note from the designer: This was inspired by the traditional sampler motif of the "berry bowl" but I've filled my basket with birds and eggs! The bowl itself is more like a woven nest, to continue the theme (and give stitchers a chance to play with variegated floss).
Note from the designer: This piece was inspired by the idea of a vibrant still life, featuring a pottery vase in traditional Delftware colors, and some beautiful Rembrandt style tulips. The color scheme is fairly narrow, so it would be easy for stitchers to change to their favorite flower palette.

Irises are one of my favorite flowers. As I lean towards purples and blues in general, perhaps this is not a surprise. So, it was high time that I designed a cross stitch pattern featuring this flower. An extra bonus that I recently learned: irises are the state flower of Tennessee. How perfect then... Read more
I enjoy doing color experiments in my designs and this pattern is the result of one. Using the highly variegated Weeks Dye Works Bethlehem with one coordinating DMC for each circle, it is so fun to see how a solid color brings out the different shades that make up the variegated thread.
