Hello! I'm an art historian who studies material culture, specifically historical needlework. I specialise in the study of schoolgirl samplers and domestic embroidery, circa 1600-1900.

I'm in my final year of my PhD at King's College London, where I research Quaker women's needle, wax, and shellwork before 1800. I also run a podcast called Sew What?, all about historic needlework and those who stitched it.

Expect lots of lovely images of embroidery! #histodon #embroidery #needlework #textile
