Carriage House Samplings

Welcome to the new home of Carriage House Samplings!

Hello From Liz Mathews acquired Carriage House Samplings in January 2026 and is excited to continue bringing you the well-loved and vast collection of patterns published over the last 30 years by Carriage House Samplings.

Marty Barrick, the designer behind Carriage House Sampling from 2010-2025 has retired from the cross-stitch industry and her niece Liz, of Hello From Liz Mathews, is happy to be the new steward carrying on the family business. Carriage House Samplings was originally known as Barrick Samplers. It was launched in 1995 by Liz’s mom, Kathy Barrick. Later, Marty took the business over from her sister in 2010.

You can expect a formal announcement and more information about the future of CHS shortly. Until then, we will be glad to answer any questions you may have. Simply drop us a line at chsamplings@gmail.com.

We want to wish Marty immense joy as she pursues her passion for oil painting and thank her for entrusting us to continue Carriage House Samplings.

Liz and Joe
