LADIES, FIRST celebrates 18 first ladies, who, at one point in their lives, knitted, crocheted, embroidered, quilted, cross-stitched or sewed. Their inspirational stories will encourage an appreciation of craft and creativity, patience and perseverance, sacrifice and service, and most of all, the role of the first lady in the history of the United States of America.
