A Special Gift for a Little Girl
I don’t have any nieces, and my nephews think stitching is “for GIRLS” (said with eyes rolling) … So I must hope for a niece with whom to share A Sampler View of Colonial Life by Mary Cobb someday. Just from the description of it at one of my favorite stores, the Silver Needle in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it sounds wonderful:
“This is a delightful 60-page softcover book aimed at a very young stitcher or stitcher-to-be! A basic sampler and school history of Colonial America, it talks about life in the colonies and how needlework fit into the daily lifestyle. There are no needlework projects provided, but several ‘exercises’ are included — like friendship books and the like.
“I think this book would be wonderful for a 4-8-yr old, who loves what Mom or Grandma creates with her needle! It features lots of colorful and neat illustrations, too!”
On Amazon, you can look through this book and get an even better idea of what it covers because the table of contents is available to view.
I sure would have loved this book as a change of pace when I studied colonial American history during grade school!
