A Cross Stitch Tribute to Mount Vernon 
and George and Martha Washington 
The Unique Collaboration of Twin Peak Primitives and Finally A Farmgirl. At 
the 2025 Nashville Needlework Market, an exclusive cross stitch set was 
released, celebrating the rich history of Mount Vernon and the lives of George 
and Martha Washington. This unique collaboration between Twin Peak Primitives 
and Finally A Farmgirl has produced a series of designs capturing the essence 
of this historical landmark and the influential couple who called it home. 
The Sampler: Mount Vernon 1761 
The centerpiece of this collection is a sampler titled Mount Vernon 1761 
which focuses on the personal lives of George and Martha Washington. This 
design is not merely a tribute to the architectural beauty of Mount Vernon 
and their garden house but delves deeper into the day-to-day life and passions 
of its residents. George lived at Mount Vernon until he passed away in 1799. 
It features his unwavering commitment to farming, often accompanied by his 
loyal dogs, and depicts a few of the animals that were raised on their estate. 
The detailed rendering of the estate provides a glimpse into the tranquil 
life at Mount Vernon. 
Pin Cushion Patterns: George and Martha Washington 
The set also includes charming pin cushion patterns of both George and Martha 
Washington. Each pattern is designed to reflect their likeness and 
significance, making them a delightful addition to any needlework collection. 
Martha Washington’s Quilt Drum 
Another highlight of this exclusive set is the Quilt of Martha Washington’s 
drum. This design is a tribute to Martha’s love for quilting and hand sewing, 
showcasing her passion for creating beautiful and functional pieces. The drum 
design is a testament to her skill and dedication to the art of needlework, 
which she lovingly shared with others in her family. This piece is not just 
a decorative item but a symbol of the enduring tradition of craftsmanship 
that Martha Washington embodied. 
The Dove of Peace Weathervane 
One aspect of the sampler is the inclusion of the Dove of Peace weathervane, 
a historic piece designed by George Washington himself. This weathervane, 
with its profound symbolism, was intended to represent domestic peace over 
the new nation that would endure no matter which way or how hard the winds 
of time might blow. Its presence in the design underscores Washington’s 
visionary leadership and his hopes for the nation’s future.
