For this month we wanted to revisit last year’s holiday interview, with Marsha Parker of The Scarlet Letter!
In her interview Marsha treated us to the story of how The Scarlet Letter began as well as see her workshop and farm. So if you are a newbie to our group here is the link to her interview. It is well worth a look - see!

As you will see, she also shared with us the gallery with her samplers on display! So much inspiration to be found!
Over the past year, Marsha has shared with us the new samplers released along the way…..
Memento Mori...... bursting with color!

Over the summer, Marsha gave us a peek at the gardens on the farm….
Looks so beautiful and idyllic I am sure we would all love to visit!
Some amazing sneak peeks have been offered too!
Here is an antique Scottish Sampler that she shared with us…..
As well as Mary Hammand, an amazing 18th Century sampler planned for 2015!
Thank you, Marsha, for continuing to share your story with us and bringing us new beauties to stitch year after year! As your collection grows so does our inspiration! As always, we look forward to more of your future endeavors.
Wishing everyone a happy holiday! xx
