"More than a 100 enthusiasts from around the country attended a one-day conference on early American needlework on October 30 at the Connecticut Historical Society Museum and Library. The event coincided with the museum's new exhibition, "Connecticut Needlework: Women, Art, and Family, 1740–1840".
Elizabeth Abbe gave a tribute to Glee Krueger, a pioneering scholar of New England needlework. Krueger organized her brief remarks around a half-dozen samplers from her personal collection. The pieces related to examples in the CHS display." |

"Sampler scholar Glee Krueger and needlework expert Patricia Moore, voluntarily began a large-scale project in fall 2000 to help preserve and conserve Vassar’s sampler collection. This project has involved not only taking full stock of the condition of each sampler and identifying certain samplers as conservation priorities, but also carefully studying and cataloguing the samplers and thereby correcting several mis-identifications in the original information available on the samplers." cont'd.
