This is the next sampler in my Rhode Island sampler-inspired series, and it was a joy to design because I chose to work with a palette that was not the usual Halloween flavor sometimes associated with Salem. No orange was used anywhere in the piece! š The top of the sampler features a ādeath head,ā which is a winged skull used on many old headstones and represents a soul whose journey isnāt finished yet, a passing on to heaven. The middle section shows Reverend Mather protecting anĀ accusing girl as he points a persecutory finger at two innocent women. Gallows Hill was where the accused were hanged, and although this isnāt a very nice segue into the fabric I used, it does bring me to the topic of the brand new linen fromĀ Rachel Miller of Needle and Flax, called ā you guessed it āĀ Gallows Hill. Itās a gloriously rich brown neutral, and I am excited to use it on other designs!
