samplers and needlework, good historical story

My 5 year old granddaughter and I saw this in a museum gift show. There was a sampler exhibit at the museum, and while I looked at the details she compared the ages, and was impressed by the work of the girls who were close to her in age. This could have had a bit more on how the stitching was done, and the layout and composition of samplers. While a rebellious girl appeals to our own time, some of that was unrealistic for the period. On the whole however, this was good history for young girls. We checked out the book from the library and I am now looking to get her a copy.
