The very first time I saw an antique sampler, I felt as if I could hear it speak.  I could almost feel the presence of the young girl who stitched the sampler.  I watched her in my mind as she carefully placed each of the stitches on her homespun linen.

As I gave it further thought, I realized that the sampler was in a sense, speaking to me.  It was speaking volumes without ever saying a word. The "Silent Stitches" tm were threads of the past woven and suspended in time waiting for someone to listen.  Samplers are so much more than needlework. Each is a legacy of the stitcher which lives on to tell a story and remind us of a life & time over a century ago.

Silent Stitches tm  .... with so much to say to those who are listening.

Thank you for allowing us to share our love of needlework with you.
