Needlepoint in Vermont

I may not have found any needlepoint stores in Vermont but I am finding interesting needlepoint pieces in antique stores (first 3 I have no further info on them) and a sampler (a common pattern from Springfield, VT area for a family record sampler done by a 13-year-old, Martha Harkins) and a quilt at the Bennington Museum. It is a 150 year old quilt done by Jane Stickle with 169 five-inch blocks, each in a different pattern, containing a remarkable total of 5,602 pieces, all surrounded by a unique scalloped border. The quilt is in perfect condition & only on display for a limited time each year.
This trip saved me money & from having more unfinished projects! But, I was very fortunate to see such nice work, especially the quilt.

I love the top one although I can’t figure out the intention with the flower size. I am afraid you need tho see the quilt in person to really grasp its beauty. You are smart to find eye candy and not items to actually do, Melita! Sue
