Elizabeth Newman 1736 band sampler from My Sister’s Samplers.Ann Richardson sampler from My Sister’s Samplers.
Our topic this week is reproduction samplers, our sponsor is Sassy Jacks Stitchery, and our guests are Beth Hoffmann and Rebecca Peterson, the sisters behind My Sister’s Samplers. The ladies recently participated in their first Nashville Market, offering their first collection of reproduction samplers, all available at Sassy Jacks. In our conversation we learn about their love for needlework, who pushed who to start reproducing samplers, their approach to reproductions, and their favorite threads. Their Nashville releases are a terrific and varied collection (be sure to check out Elizabeth Newman 1736) and they have many more in the works. Also, keep an eye out for a Fiber Talk Stitch Hour in the near future when Beth and Rebecca will be with us live to talk about the history behind their samplers. Enjoy the show and visit mysisterssamplers.com to explore their charts.–Beth and Gary
