unched paper embroidery was a pastime enjoyed over a century ago by Victorian women and children who would embroider spiritual creeds and sage counsel from mail-ordered kits of brightly-colored thread and pre-stamped perforated paper. Displayed in their homes with great sentiment and pride, what better way to both teach their children and proclaim to guests their love of God, country, family, and the virtues they held dear? The ease of this simple embroidery, the new availability of vibrant-colored variegated floss, and the sturdy pre-printed punched paper - requiring no hoop or counting - made these extremely popular for a short time in the late 1800s through the early 1900s.

Now sought-after as valuable antiques, these century-old Victorian Motto Samplers - though timeless in their message - are often found in poor condition, with moth-eaten faded and dull-colored threads, cracked paper, and "water" stains left by the acid from the pine board backs used in framing.

Choose from Sage Stitchworks' large collection of original punched paper embroidery designs. They will grace your home and recapture the genteel style and spirit of days-gone-by. These beautiful, vibrant mottoes add the warmth that makes a house into a "Home Sweet Home." "
