From the Lizzie Borden Warps and Wefts website, here are glimpses inside the bed and breakfast business's furnishings, which are period to the 1890s which is when Lizzie became famous (or infamous). Note the footstool and the perforated paper sampler over the mantelpiece. The bellows leaning against the fireplace may be painted or it may be stitched. Hard to tell.

Any tours of Lizzie's later home Maplecroft or photos of the interior I've seen don't show any needlework, by the way. Believe me, I watch for that!
If you are unfamiliar with Lizzie Borden, you can catch up here.
