This week’s guest is Clare Hunter, award-winning author of the new book “Embroidering Her Truth, Mary Queen of Scots and the Language of Power.” The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. “Embroidering Her Truth,” Clare’s second book, offers a new look at Mary, Queen of Scots and the role that textiles and needlework played in a life full of political power play, manipulation, corruption, broken relationships, imprisonment, and execution. Our conversation explores the extensive research that was required, the stories behind Mary’s story, and Clare’s personal experiences while writing the book. “Embroidering Her Truth” is a book unlike any other about Mary, Queen of Scots and a must read for any needleworker.–Beth and Gary
