Silk Art Embroidery, A Woman's History of Ornament & Empowerment by Donna Cardwell $29.99

The book details the fascinating history of the embroidery form, how it was made and what it meant to the nineteenth century women who created it. It's a delightful story that I hope inspires you to think about our Victorian ancestors and how they found a way out of their plight through ingenuity, plain hard work, and a little help from their friends. That lesson is as applicable today as it was 130 years ago, when Candace Wheeler began to teach silk art embroidery to the Victorian ladies who desperately needed a source of income. It certainly inspired me to tell their story.
