First, there was Feels Like Fall, and then came Peace & Goodwill. I had no idea that this little "Quaker-themed" sampler would be so well received and, in turn, become a seasonal series. It's a sampler that isn't overwhelming in size, so it is very doable for a quick finish, and you don't feel so bad about putting away a seasonal piece when there isn't lots and lots of stitching, plus it's fun to get out the next season! My market releases will round out this little series with the addition of the Spring and Summer-themed samplers.
The creamy-colored linen with the slightest blush mottling of the Dusty Road linen is so pretty and perfect for the floss color palette. This design uses some of my favorite floral Quaker medallions to frame the inner Spring-themed motifs and the well-known Ralph Waldo Emerson quote.
The bird/urn motif on this chart would make a precious small all on it's own!
