In Memory of Tasha Tudor

August 28, 1915 - June 18, 2008

"Einstein said that time is like a river, it flows in bends. If we could only step back around the turns, we could travel in either direction. I'm sure it's possible. When I die, I'm going right back to the 1830s. I'm not even afraid of dying. I think it must be quite exciting."

~Tasha Tudor

The Tennessee Sampler Survey

The Tennessee Sampler Survey was founded as a not-for-profit organization in 2004. Their mission is to document and preserve Tennessee's textile heritage. Their research includes documenting Tennessee samplers made prior to 1900. As of December 2006, they have located 160 samplers, 120 of which can be proven as Tennessean.

Sampler Note Cards

A set of 6 Sampler Note Cards may be purchased from Silent Stitches. Proceeds from the sale of the note cards will fund Tennessee Sampler Survey research. Click here for more information about the note cards!
