My idea was to write about the first ladies who had some connection to needlework at one point in their lives. Edith Roosevelt, for example, needlepointed a sampler of all the important moments in her husband’s life, including Sagamore Hill and the White House, which she renovated in 1901 to accommodate her large family. She turned it into a showcase for the country. Then President Theodore Roosevelt officially named the Executive Mansion the “White House.”
