Description

Cross-stitch is one of the oldest forms of embroidery and was used by the ancient Egyptians and Phrygians.  In the 1700s, cross-stitch, embroidery, and other needlework were taught at girls’ schools in America.  Old Salem Museums & Gardens and the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts (MESDA) are home to an exceptional collection of Southern needlework that spans seven states.

This kit includes a 14-count Ribband bookmark, needle, floss, graph, instructions, and history.  The finished bookmark depicts four quilt patterns: Checkerboard Blocks; Bear Paw; Pin-Wheel; and Shoo-Fly, and measures 2″x7.5″.  For children 10 and up and adults.
