We are delighted to introduce you to the world of Punched Paper Embroidery!  This is a quick, easy blended embroidery technique that is fast, easy, fun  and can be stitched in just a few short sittings.  Since the pattern is printed right onto the "Bristol board" this needlework requires no hoops or counting as in cross stitch.  They make perfect weekend projects and gifts.  

 These beautiful samplers offer craftswomen of all skill levels a unique opportunity to enjoy this period art with almost instant results!  Intricately detailed when completed and yet simple enough for even young embroiderers to enjoy. Our collection offers authentic reproductions for you to stitch for your Home Sweet Home.

 Most of our samplers are reproductions from our  personal collection.  Coupled with some antiquing techniques, these mottos are hard to distinguish from the old originals!

All motto kits include stamped 14-count natural perforated paper, a tapestry needle, specialty threads, gold foil, a detailed stitching guide and specific instructions for sewing each motto. Each motto typically measures 8 1/2" x 20 1/2" unless otherwise specified. Kits do not include frames.

 Our kits have an authentic replica look and will blend in wonderfully with your home, whether your style is Traditional, Victorian, Antique, Country, Colonial and Early American Primitive!

Our newest kits!
Think on These Things  Taken from Philippians 4:8, this sampler speaks volumes about what we should allow our minds to think (meditate) upon. Did you know that God's word puts boundaries on what we can and should think about? Here is the list: things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and things full of virtue and praise. These virtues are cleverly worked into the scroll work of this new kit. $48.00 order here

Attention home schooling families! Looking for handiwork for your unit studies? The Victorian era is a wonderfully alluring and fascinating time to explore with our daughters. The virtues of tea and piety are still enjoyed today! Our kits add an air of charm and dignity to the era, and provide an easy  hands-on history lesson for daughters learning about famous women of the past like Laura Ingalls Wilder, Louisa May Alcott and Lucy Maud Montgomery. Even if your daughters heroines are fictional, like Elsie Dinsmore, Anne Shirley and Dianna Barry, or our kits are period appropriate. Our kits have also been used successfully  for young ladies involved in church youth ministries, and Keepers at Home Groups.
