Monmouth County - Walnford - Cross Stitch Sampler @ Historic Walnford
Sunday, April 28 - Upper Freehold, Monmouth County Cross Stitch Sampler Eleven-year-old Elizabeth Waln Wistar, the granddaughter of Richard and Elizabeth Waln of Walnford, created a beautifully executed cross stitch sampler in 1799. Now in a private collection, it has been meticulously recreated for us by award-winning needleworker Elizabeth Dey. This afternoon she will explain what makes this sampler special, how she charted, then stitched this historical recreation and show how you can chart and stitch a sampler. This free program runs from 1:00 - 4:00 pm. While there, visit the 19th-century gristmill and the farm buildings set in a beautiful landscape. Walnford is located at 62 Walnford Road, 08501.
