We are proud to be collaborating with the Schwenkfelder Library and Heritage Center in Pennsylvania to bring you products featuring samplers from their collection.

In the Company of Friends is delighted to introduce a new set of products based on the antique quilts in the Schwenkfelder collection! New for fall 2008!

Ornaments

We have been having such fun playing with the new Schwenkfelder quilt images and it suddenly came to us - these would be beautiful ornaments! Whether they grace your holiday tree or your favorite pair of dressmaker's scissors, these are sure to please your eye and sense of whimsy. Some of them, we decided should do triple-duty as pin keeps as well! For those, your pins rest in 100% wool felt to keep them safe!

2008 Engagement Calendar and Catalog of

Schwenkfelder Samplers and Needlework.

This lovely desk calendar gives you a week at a time with a place to mark your engagements. The facing page for each of the 52 weeks in 2008 features a color picture of needlework from the Schwenkfelder collection. This is a great catalog of this important collection. Schwenkfelder samplers are at once different and similar to other Pennsylvania samplers - find out for yourself! This is a great addition to your sampler research library - something you will use with pleasure for years to come in your study of samplers and other needlework.

Don't forget your birthday buddies or secret sisters - what a terrific gift this makes for your needlework friends. Don't miss out - this is soon to be out of print - make sure you get your copy!

Please note that this is a 2008 calendar - while it is outdated as a calendar, it has enormous value as the only printed source for the Schwenkfelder Sampler Collection.
