  • Quilting Basics Booklet

    "Why would anyone want to go through the expense and time necessary to make a quilt in this day of ready-made comforters and bedspreads? Why indeed? 

    A quilt is not now nor has it ever been exclusively a practical cover for keeping a body warm. Even when great-great-great-grandmother made a quilt, it was not just for physical warmth. It was a creative outlet in an otherwise bleak existence -- a way of expressing oneself, of giving life, of venting frustrations or despair. Quilts were for "kivvers," quilts were made for weddings and births, quilts were made for mourning." 

    We receive many requests for information on "How To" live the Tasha Tudor lifestyle. Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletins offer practical, hands-on instructions designed to help you master dozens of country living skills quickly and easily.

  • Roosters Crow and Hens Don't: A Book About Chickens

    Chicken Whisperer, Ellie Tudor, published her first book in 2015 at the age of five. After receiving many questions during her "Chicken Talk" presentations during the special Corgi Cottage Tours: Tasha's Home and Gardens, she felt she ought to compile her knowledge into a book so that more people would understand chickens as she does. Like her great-grandmother, Tasha Tudor, she used the cozy winter months to write and illustrate her first book.

    Be forewarned, roosters mate on hens frequently. This common behavior has been noted by Ellie and is included in this book.

    Published by Rooster Crow Press. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" 19 pages long. Black and white interior illustrations.

  • Tasha as a Young Mother

    May 10, 2017

    In the late 1940’s, about the time when many American homes were being outfitted with the newest modern conveniences, Tasha Tudor moved to a run-down (one could say, dilapidated) 1789 New Hampshire farmhouse with no electricity, no running water, and no heat besides a few wood stoves. She was also a mother of two small children. While to some, this combination of circumstances might sound harrowing, for Tasha it was a dream realized.

  • Tasha's Hearth Print

    A Thanksgiving scene of children tending the turkey as it roasts in the tin kitchen in Tasha Tudor's 'Winter Kitchen'.

In real life, Tasha set a fireplace screen around the tin kitchen, calling it a 'corgi foil'. 1993. Size 8 1/2"x11" Printed in the USA.

  • Tasha's Spring Garden

    May 3, 2017

    I remember hearing someone ask my grandmother which season she preferred best. She explained she liked them all, and that when one ended she looked forward to the next. I don’t recall her exact words in answer to that question, but imagine it was a good explanation of her views on the matter. In any event, by the time winter ended she was always ready for spring.

  • Winter at Corgi Cottage

    Winslow Tudor
    January 13, 2014

    By January the snow on the ground at Tasha’s home in Vermont is here to stay until spring. Tasha was always grateful for the snow and the cold. Her perennials were far more likely to come back in the spring if able to sleep beneath the snow, and the cold killed some of the diseases and troublesome insects that haunt all gardens. Her barn, house and animals were warmer when a nor’easter banked two feet of snow around the foundations and on the roof. She always commented on the beauty of blue shadowed snow immediately after a storm.
