Shop Update
Many heartfelt thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers and help after the devastating impact to our area of Hurricane Helene. We have several charity and relief efforts in the planning and coming very soon.
Please consider the beautiful bespoke ornament “Rise Above The Waters” from Jackie du Plessis… info at the top of this page or on the “Ornament” tab. Funds from the ornament sales will go to local charities assisting with disaster recovery.
We’ll also be collaborating with FiberTalk to offer a number of shop focused kits for your consideration. Profits from these kit sales will stay with the shop to help us offset our loss of revenue from our temporary closure, cancelled workshops, and loss of foot traffic this Fall related to Helene Impacts on our area.
And lest we forget a furry friends, we’ll be launching “Herschel’s Helpers” soon… a collection of stitchy related items inspired by our special boy Herschel. All proceeds from sales of Herschel’s Helpers items will go to local pet charities.
We were very blessed that our shop and personal home survived the storm without damage, though we were nearly two weeks without electricity and still have no water service. We’ve been closed since 5 pm on Thursday September 26th, but will reopen on Wednesday October 16th with normal hours.
We are open Wed 10-5; Thurs 10-8; Fri 10-5; and Sat 10-3.
Our Street Address is: 446 Weaverville Road, Asheville, NC 28804
Please note that some GPS providers still show our old address in Weaverville. That’s wrong. We’ve tried to fix them all, but don’t have access to all of the providers, so please don’t be mad at us if you go to the old location.
We are still working on our set up and getting all of our models and antiques on the walls.
We’re working hard on catching up our online orders and will not be taking any phone orders until we’re current. You’ll find our online shop at www.sassyjacksstitchery.com
Thank you so much for coming with us on this wonderful journey of needlework dreams! I can’t wait to see everyone back in the shop!

Rosa Parks – A free design from Sassafras Samplers
As we celebrate love and history this month of February, we wanted to share a design that we created using one of our fellow
needlewomen, Rosa Parks. Did you know that not only was Rosa brave and strong and beautiful inside and out, but she was a seamstress and a quilter? We created this design to remember the stance she took for what was right during a time that was wrong, that in many ways, is still wrong. Rosa’s legacy resonates for me, as a fellow needlewoman, as a hard working woman, as someone who believed that doing the right thing could make a difference in the world. Rosa inspires me still, that there is work to be done, that we must choose every day, to do the right thing; good choices by good people can, and will, change the world. I hope you enjoy this design. It was a joy for us to create, and it’s been a joy for me to stitch.

In our first newsletter, we gave away a small sampler that I found locally here in an antique shop. It reads: “Tho Oceans Wide Between Us Roar, Tho Distant Be Our Lot, Tho Should I Never See Thee More, Dear Friend Forget Me Not.” This was the perfect sentiment for the goal of our shop, to reach our friends near and wide, and offer them a place to belong. You can still find this in our first newsletter, but we wanted to put it here for your as well. During this very challenging times, we value our friends and our family most of all. Please enjoy stitching this sweet sampler for yourself or a friend.

New & Notable Arrivals
Sassafras Samplers is so excited to announce the.pdf release of our latest Reproduction Sampler, Margaret White 1841. Margaret is a gorgeous little Scottish Sampler with some wonderful Dutch Motifs. She’s very close to my heart as she was given as a wedding gift from some good friends and resided prior to that in the private collection of another friend, Lorraine Mootz. She’s a great stitch on Aida or Linen, and we’ve created a series of kits using NPI silks and WDW Straw linen or a beautiful Aida from PTP. I hope you’ll stitch Margaret with us and enjoy some warm thoughts about love and friendship.
We’re super excited to bring you the third in a series of four new original designs from our own design house, Sassafras Samplers. This in Adder’s Fork, design No. 3 in the Spooky Shakespeare series from Sassafras Samplers. The series takes the famous “Boil and Bubble, Toil and Trouble” scene from Macbeth and breaks it into four fun and spooky designs. As an ode to the “Scottish” setting of Macbeth, we’ve surrounded each of the four designs in a border from one of our antique Scottish Samplers. We’ve also included a little bonus chart for those who collect all four designs! Each of the four designs has a band that when put together gives you a small original design “sampler”, also drawing from Macbeth. This bonus chart also includes the borders from our Scottish Samplers. I hope you’ll give this a try and enjoy the stitch! We’ve kitted on Tin Roof from Weeks Dye Works and have this linen available in 32ct. through 40ct. Click on Fenny Snake for all things Spooky Shakespeare!
We released another beautiful Scottish Sampler at our September Soiree, Christian Henry 1816. Christian is a wonderful stitch with an alphabet at the top and a spot sampler section at the bottom. There are some wonderful motifs in that spot motif section and some fabulous color. Christian must have been a very imaginative and happy little girl. We are so grateful to Jacob de Graaf, of Modern Folk Embroidery, for so generously researching the genealogy of our Christian for us. You can purchase all things Christian Henry 1816 by clicking on the picture of the sampler.
