While poking through all of the buildings I came across a small, tiny display of needlework and linens. I took photos of the 2 I liked the most. The pictures are bad, the building was poorly lit and the samplers were under glass in a glass cabinet. You can imagine the challenge there right?
I loved the border on this one. It just seems to flow peacefully around the edge and the colors were beautiful
I likd the trees on the lower right and the flower basket in the lower center. Simply beautiful and very well preserved. Just love it! The next picture is of the herb garden. It's beautiful. Can you imagine having all of those fresh herbs available??
I hope if you ever get to Massachusetts you will visit Olde Sturbridge Village. It isn't anything grand, no noisy rides or amusements but a throw back to a time that has past.
Happy Stitching!!

Thanks for sharing about your sampler find! Do you know whether the samplers at Sturbridge are always on exhibit or whether this was a special thing? My mom and I are heading to Mass later this summer on a stitching themed trip, and I'm wondering if we should add Sturbridge to the itenerary.
Looks lovely. I sometimes long for a simpler life. x
Great looking place to visit. Thanks for sharing the samplers- They are lovely.
What a gorgeous sampler and how fantastic that you not only found it but could share with us. :)
Thanks for sharing the sampler pictures! That first one does have a very lovely border!
Lovely to read of your visit to Olde Sturbridge, thank you for sharing specially the sampler
Your posts sure keep bringing back wonderful memories for me, Nataly. You see, almost 34 years ago when my husband and I were newlyweds, we visited Olde Sturbridge Village on the way to our honeymoon destination in Maine! All I remember is that it rained the whole time we were there--I'll have to visit again and hope for nicer weather :)
Beautiful old samplers--thanks for sharing!
I love visiting places like Williamsburg and Old Sturbridge. I hope the kids had fun and got a little taste of another way of life.
great pics! i really like those 2 samplers! might have to do some research to see if there are reproduction charts out there.
It looks beautiful. Sounds like a wonderful place to explore!
I visited Sturbridge on a recent trip to Mass. They do have beautiful needlework and quilt collections. Thanks for sharing the sampler.
