Cross Stitch Shaker Samplers

Date: July 19, 2025

Time: 1:00 am to 5:00 pm

2025 Cross Stitch Shaker Samplers

Saturday, July 19, 2025 | 1:00p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Delve into needlework with a Shaker cross stitch sampler! Young women in the 19th century often stitched samplers as one of their first needlework projects, learning key sewing skills. We’ll discuss Shaker samplers broadly and then take a close look at some original Shaker samplers in the Shaker Village collection. Due to their fragility, these samplers are seldom on display – this is a rare opportunity to view them. Participants will then begin on their own samplers, working a reproduction of Shaker Village's new sampler, acquired in 2025 and attributed to "Margaret B."

All participants will receive a kit with all necessary materials (including embroidery hoop, needle, 28-count linen fabric, floss, and sampler chart).

Participants should have a basic understanding of cross stitch, other embroidery techniques, or sewing.

Annual Passholder: $80
General Admission: $90

This workshop is intended for participants aged 16+, although younger participants may be admitted on a case by case basis. All minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult.

Program fee includes one complimentary admission to Shaker Village and one voucher for 20% off dining at the Trustees’ Table (excluding alcoholic beverages). Dining reservation recommended: call 859.734.5411.

All tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
