Needlepoint kneeler at St.Peter's by Sally O'Brien Gifford

There’s a bit of history behind the Laudian frontal embroideries with cross and keys at St. Peter’s Church in Lithgow, and the kneelers and altar hangings made with silk and gold threads at Grace Church. After Erica Wilson died this past December—she is credited for reviving needlework in the US and globally—her obituary noted, “In 1954, she was recruited by a visiting American, a well-to-do woman who wanted to start a needlework guild in Millbrook, NY.” ( NY Times,12/13/2011”)
