There's sewing, and then there's embroidery. Translated from the French word meaning "embellishment," I'd Rather Be guest Caroline Matas describes embroidery as "painting with thread." The needle-and-thread art form has evolved quite a bit in the last 250 years, and this episode is full of surprises about the kinds of things hobbyists and artists alike have decided to embroider.
