Today we had the pleasure of working on projects designed by Liz Mathews (Hello From Liz Mathews) and Linda Lautenschlager (Chessie and Me).
First up, Liz Mathews!
Liz gifted us the chart for an antique sampler she acquired. It was stitched by Martha Padfield in 1852 when she was 12 years old.
Our project today was based on motifs from the sampler. The lower half of the sampler was screen printed on some fabric. We had two additional sheets of images of butterflies and birds that we can cut out and add to the sampler image. Take a look at the hoops that Liz is holding to better understand what I mean.
After lunch, Linda from Chessie and Me joined us. You can tell from the box and the gloves that we’re going to be painting!
And paint we did. Our boxes are meant to look kind of primitive. I think my finished box fits the bill!
We will be stitching a lovely needleroll and scissor fob as well as a stitched piece for the top of the box!
Linda also had a trunk show on display.
We had a special presentation before dinner- will share in a separate post!

Oooh fun! I love your little prim house! I am really looking forward to seeing the Martha Padfield project when you get to working on it. Looks very interesting!
Fantastic projects!
