Little Red School House; The Posy Collection; Kit includes: fabric, floss,needle, chart,
instructions and color photo of finished project.
Mary Sawyer was born in 1806 and grew up on a farm near Sterling, Massachusetts. When she was about 10 years old, she found a newborn lamb that was cold and nearly dead. She brought it into the house and nursed it back to health. As a result, the lamb took to Mary and began following her about. One day, it followed her to school, prompting John Roulstone, one of her schoolmates, to write a short poem that started out with the line, "Mary had a little lamb..." Called the Redstone School, the building was later purchased by Henry Ford and relocated to the property of Longfellow's Wayside Inn in Sudbury. Adapted for counted cross stitch from an original painting by Christopher Gurshin, this project depicts the structure as it appeared in the early-1800s.

In the 1700s and 1800s, pinballs were used as personal pincushions
by women and girls to store pins and needles for their sewing projects.
They were often personalized with initials, dates, and other information.
A stitcher sometimes attached her pinball to her belt or châtelaine,
a decorative belt hook or clasp, by a ring and chain or by a braided
cord. This cross stitch kit was inspired by these early pinballs.

Begin the new year square with every man.

Robert B. Thomas (1766-1846)
Founder of The Old Farmer's Almanac
Under the guiding hand of its first editor, Robert B. Thomas,
the premiere issue of The Old Farmer's Almanac was published
in 1792 during George Washington's first term as president.
Although many other almanacs were being published at
that time, Thomas's upstart almanac became an immediate
success. The Almanac has grown to become America's
oldest continuously published – and most popular – annual
by never forgetting the foresightful words of Thomas, "Our
main endeavour is to be useful, but with a pleasant degree
of humor."

masterpieces, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello is a reflection of its

pulling down." Beginning in 1768, and continuing for neary 40 years,
Jefferson determined virtually every detail of its design, construction, and
remodeling. This cross stitch kit is adapted from an original painting by
Linda Boudreaux Montgomery that depicts Monticello through the cycle
of the four seasons.

rugs with characteristic local patterns and colors. Today’s rug weavers
still produce these unique works of art that can be often be identified by
