Description

Comfort and Joy, from Plum Street Samplers.

Designed by Paulette Stewart, © 2026.
This evocative primitive Christmas sampler by Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers depicts a grand colonial-style home surrounded by tall evergreen trees dusted with snowflake stitches, all bathed in moonlight against a warm tan ground. A decorative floral border crowns the top of the design, while a small inset vignette features a charming reindeer and a glowing angel graces the rooftop, adding whimsical narrative detail. The rich, muted color palette of hand-dyed flosses from Classic Colorworks and Weeks Dye Works — paired with the warm Baked Clay linen — gives this piece an authentically aged, heirloom folk art character perfect for holiday display.
