# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Martha Washington's Needlebook
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: As a compliment to our Founding Mother's Tea, we will have a workshop inspired by Martha Washington's Needlebook in the morning. The needlebook, made of silk, buckram, wool, and silk thread is found in the museum collection at Mt. Vernon. Pictured here and described by the museum; 

"Martha Washington is believed to have made this needle book. Although the embroidery is purely decorative, the form it covers is elegantly functional. Intended to be hung from the waistband by the grosgrain ribbon, the needle book safely stored needles in the layers of wool between its stiff walls. The receptacle was opened by applying pressure on either side of the "mouth," causing the buckram to resist and buckle open, thus allowing the needle worker to push in or take out pins."

Taking this as our inspiration, and using the same materials used by Martha Washington, we are going to make a simplified version of this needlebook.  In the process you will learn some basic embroidery and hand sewing skills.  

The workshop is limited to 6 participants, as we will be working in the smaller workshop while the other ladies set up for our tea that afternoon.  Cost is $35 per person.  All materials are proveded.
