Zoom Lecture by Laurie S. Kelly

Description: “Needle Artists Speak Up…and Oh, the Stories They Tell!” is a presentation about needlework, though not about the craft itself or its decorative aspects.  It is a presentation about the content of the embroideries; the stories that embroiderers tell and that give voice to their lives, passions and causes.  The artists speak to us from decades and centuries past with their views of our Nation’s founding and its early years, U.S. politics & amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and finally, wars.  Their stories give us insights into events that are not often recorded in the conventional historical narrative.
