August Memories

Our guest speaker at the Tudor Rose Sampler Guild in August was Theresa Venette, the designer behind Shakespeare’s Peddler (also known as Kitten Stitcher on Floss Tube). Theresa discussed with us her experience with purchasing antique samplers. Theresa has purchased and reproduced many beautiful samplers and shared her extensive knowledge with the guild membership.

This months featured image is Patricia B’s completed Summer Schoolhouse – Lessons in Abecedarian series from With Thy Needle & Thread.

As always, our members shared some spectacular stitching that was completed during our summer break in July. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
