Adam and Eve



 Genesis 3: 6  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

So, now are A&E charts going to be come a must have for me??? I've been checking out different A&E charts from different designers... and oh, there are a lot!  There are at least 3 that are being released at Nashville (ABC Stitch)

and my dream... my favorite... the one that I hope to do and finish... 
"And They Sinned"

There are so many more...
Deborah at Midsummer Night Musing has a post on A&E samplers... check it out! I will continue to post for you on this subject... 
I found a great book at the library you may be interested in also.  It's called Girlhood Embroidery 1, by Betty Ring.  It is a phenomenal historical account of embroidery through the times with beautiful color pictures of samples.  It has a section devoted to A&E samplers.  I'm actually looking to purchase this one.
Lastly I leave you with and A&E engraving from a 17th century Bible printed in 1616.  It's listed on ebay if you care to look there are other engravings also... absolutely beautiful! (a little out of my $$ range! lol) but the detailing is awesome.
Until later...

    Kim, thanks so much for putting together this list of A & E samplers...I, too, have been thinking of starting an A & E collection, with no idea where to start. Thanks for doing some of the footwork, lol!

    I love trolling Ebay for the A&E stuff... once I weed through the, erm, company named A&E and their, erm, toys. Ahem. LOL

    Nice job on your sampler!! I loved the A&Es that you have listed. Some I have, some are wants. Definitely do ATS--it's such a fun sampler!
