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 of her needlework sampler.

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.  A legacy of the stitcher which would live on to tell a story and remind us of a time over a century ago.

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