After reading The Sad Irons it was clear to me there wasn’t much time for embroidery back then

Wrap me in wool and plop me in a seaside moor in Scotland circa 1500.

Oh don't worry. Here in the U.S. we are rapidly embracing rolling back time. Before you know it, all your embroidery dreams may manifest. And for a few bucks to the tune of 5 mil you can get a Trump Gold Card. No waiting in line or criminal background check!

Your post reminds me of the first Katharine Hepburn (endungeoned) scene in "The Lion in Winter".

It’s different when you choose to do that as opposed to someone telling you, you have to do that because that’s what women do.

I just also want to do it WHILE watching my little funny shows on an ipad and playing on a pocket computer! And drinking a gin if I feel like it!

Oh to be an embroidering Victorian woman, but not in the meek and docile way. Like the vain, embroidering big gaudy flowers on my dress while I gossip about the preacher's secret love affair kinda way.

Sitting by an open window; developing a small yet persistent cough and passing away from tuberculosis.
