I fell in love with the vases in the antique version of Ellen's sampler, and decided to incorporate them into this design. Who says a vase has to be filled?

Note from the designer: In my everlasting love for all things General Washington, here we have his beloved war horse, Nelson. This is a companion to "Blueskin" (his more beautiful but skittish horse), which was released in 2018. While my version of Blueskin was designed with George's... Read more
This is the second in the seasons pincushion series, and I think my favorite part about this chart is the Bible verse: Proverbs 31:21 - "She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet." I think that is just the loveliest verse!
Note from the designer: "Like pumpkin and spice, Christmas and July just go together! This patriotic design is a nod to our freedom as an American and the freedom offered to us in Christ. The verse reads: "God bless this land from hill to sea, Christ be the gift to set us free."... Read more

Note from the designer: This is the next sampler in my Rhode Island sampler-inspired series, and it was a joy to design because I chose to work with a palette that was not the usual Halloween flavor sometimes associated with Salem. No orange was used anywhere in the piece! The top of the sampler... Read more
This time of year generally calls for vampire bats, but let's not forget about their flying-fox- cousins, the fruit bats! Fruit bats love fruit (figs being a favorite), nectar, and flowers. The bats themselves were quite a challenge to design, but I really had fun with them!

Note from designer: Christmas Mini Moon came out this past December and this is the next in the minis. Technically it should be called "Summer Mini Moon," but at the time I didn't know I would make a series out of it. Anyway, I had fun finishing it into a little pillow with four skinny... Read more
