NJ Needlework: Stitching New Jersey’s Story

The New Jersey Needlework is an ongoing, collaborative hand embroidery project that illustrates, promotes and commemorates the vast, rich history of New Jersey, showcasing the people, places and events that helped shape the great story of our state. In honor of our nation’s 250th anniversary, the New Jersey Needlework project is currently embroidering scenes that showcase our state’s unique and significant role during the American Revolution in 1776. Our members are hand-stitching pivotal historical events, such as the first reading of the Declaration of Independence in Trenton, Washington’s Crossing of the Delaware, and the Battle of Trenton. The founders of the New Jersey Needlework project will discuss their embroidered work and the fascinating stories behind the historic events they are hand stitching.

This program takes place on Tuesday, July 28 at 6:30 pm at the Hickory Corner Branch Library.

Registration is requested.
