Jamestown Settlement
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
On December 20, 1606, three English ships set sail from London to establish a colony in the New World. The voyage was sponsored by the Virginia Company of London, based on a charter granted by King James I giving them a monopoly on trade in North America. The Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery carried a total of 144 boys and men, 104 of whom would establish the Virginia settlement. On May 14, 1607, the three ships dropped anchor off Jamestown Island, after almost five months at sea. Their weary passengers were glad to have finally reached their destination. However, they had to overcome many challenges before the Jamestown settlement was permanently established.
Finished size: 8½" by 6½" on 18 count Charles Craft fabric. Kit includes material, DMC floss, needle, instructions, and color photograph of finished project. Designed by Barbara Bangser for The Posy Collection.

Jamestown Settler Couple
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
The first settlers to arrive at Jamestown included 104 men and boys, but no women. The first two women, Mistress Forest and Ann Burras, her maid, arrived in October 1608. More women came with the 1609 - 1610 supply ships. A large group also arrived in 1620 to become wives for planters. Women performed duties familiar to them in England, centered around the house. They planted "kitchen" gardens, growing herbs for cooking and medicinal purposes. They also did most of the cooking, sewing, and laundry, and often tended the livestock. The most common work to be done for the men was farming. Military drills also took up much of the men's time. After 1609, every man was required to train daily in the use of the musket and sword.
Finished size: 6½" by 9" on 14 count Charles Craft fabric. Kit includes material, DMC floss, needle, instructions, and color photograph of finished project. Design adapted by Barbara Bangser for The Posy Collection.

It was his strong leadership and discipline that helped the colony survive. He was captured by the Powhatan Indians in late 1607 and later wrote that Pocahontas had been instrumental in saving his life. Smith was a key leader in the colony until he was accidentally wounded in a gunpowder explosion. He left for England in 1609 and never returned to Jamestown.

Pocahontas
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
Pocahontas was the favorite daughter of Powhatan, a powerful Algonquian chief. She was also John Smith's special guardian, having saved him from death, according to Smith's account. She was saddened when Smith was badly injured by a gunpowder explosion in 1609 and had to return to England for medical treatment. Pocahontas was kidnapped by the English in 1613, who hoped to exchange her for English prisoners held by Powhatan. When her father refused, she remained with the English, studied Anglican religion, and was baptized as "Rebecca." In 1614, she married John Rolfe, the man who introduced tobacco cultivation to the colony. They had a son, Thomas, in 1615. This marriage resulted in a period of general peace between the English and the Indians. In 1616, to encourage financial support for the Virginia venture, the Virginia Company sent Pocahontas and her family to London. There, she became sick. Just as the group was ready to return to Virginia in 1617, Pocahontas died. She is buried at Gravesend, England.
