Wilton Historical Society Weekend Workshops — Valentine’s Day Embroidery

Exchanging gifts with loved ones for Valentine’s Day is a centuries-old tradition. On Saturday, Feb. 4 from 11 a.m.-12 p.m., the Wilton Historical Society will offer kids an opportunity to create their own Valentine’s Day-themed gift. During this program, participants will design and embroider their own ‘Valentines’ muslin pillows to give to friends or family on Feb. 14. Museum educator Catherine Lipper will discuss Valentine’s Day and its historical significance, in addition to the uses of embroidery in Colonial times. At the end of the workshop, each participant will be given a heart-shaped sugar cookie to decorate and take home. Don’t miss out on this sweet celebration!
