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)

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...

Temptation of Man...

Genesis 3
          Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.  And He said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
          And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
          But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
          And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
          For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
