Only by Hand Hardanger Leaflet

The "Only By Hand" sampler began in the dreams and imagination of two friends, Debi Booth and Barbara Oyler. After opening their needle work shop, Only By Hand, Debi and Barbara longed for a sampler that would represent the focus of their shop. Mariann Golich, another friend who had experience as a needlework teacher and designer, was selected to create the sampler.

Together, the three friends worked on design elements, fabrics, threads, and colors. Customers fell in love with the sampler and filled Mariann's classes. It became apparent that the design should be published, and I am honored to present it to you.

The original "Only By Hand" sampler hung at Only By Hand which use to be located in the Emporium across from historic Tabernacle Square in Logan, Utah. The Emporium still stands but Only By Hand closed in the early 2000's.
