For all may learne that thereto willing be. -- William Barley, 1594
Scholehouse for the Needle is dedicated to bringing sampler and antique needlework designs to you, as well as providing a forum
for sharing educational information about embroidery from the 17th to 19th centuries.
I first had the urge to have my own design company in 1994, and chose the name Scholehouse for the Needle based on
the 1624 book by Richard Shorleyker. I designed the logo and began charting samplers, but my day job kept getting in the way, so
bringing this company to fruition has taken me on many roads. Finally in 2005, those roads led here - a way for me to share my love
of samplers and 17th century embroidery styles with others. Welcome and enjoy!
