The Feller Collection

Today was a very special day. We went to see the Feller Collection of samplers at the Feller's manor house. WOW!

 

 

Samplers were covering every square inch of wall space in every room, hall, and staircase (and there were lots of these). There were also needlework tools and accessories, and pillows and samplers made by Mrs Feller. Photography wasn't permitted inside but most of the samplers were photographed for the two books about their collection.

 

The Feller's are absolutely charming people who were happy to answer questions about their collection. And, as if the samplers weren't wonderful enough, we were treated to a delicious lunch with three types of quiche, salads, ham, and a choice of desserts (lemon drizzle or summer pudding).

Double WOW!
