Plimoth Jacket Viewing Opportunity

I am often asked about seeing the Plimoth Jacket by stitchers. Well, I got an email about an event at Plimoth Plantation where they will be bringing out the jacket for a viewing during an event for hand crafters.

My Background and Passions

I've been embroidering or 'building with a needle' since I was four and started teaching embroidery to adults when I was 12. I went to MIT and got a PhD in engineering and helped to start a field called Electronic Textiles. I have always loved history as well and took some crazy-cool course work about using materials science as an archeological tool. That is the basis of my work in embroidery. I see my embroidery teaching as one facet of being a historian of textile materials culture.

Today, I balance three jobs - Thistle Threads, an engineering practice, and am a partner in Tokens and Trifles. It is crazy, but when you have many loves it is just what you do. Much of this is an outgrowth of how I think, which is a bit unusual since I am dyslexic.

In this blog you will notice themes that align with my passions: historic embroidery, teaching engineering to today's youth, and understanding different learning styles. In my off time, I coach a championship robotics team of teens as well as a team of elementary kids. I am really proud of them! Helping to develop E-Textile projects for summer camps to encourage girls in STEM is another activity that makes my plate pretty full.
