"I now want to write a spy heroine who stitches secret messages of all the things she overhears while people talk freely in front of her because they think she’s just a silly girl, obsessed with her embroidery." Uhhhh, yes, pleaseandthankyou! Especially if she wrote it as a contemporary romance. I don't read historical, but if this was in the contemporary category, I would totally read it. Very clever idea.
Kinda reminds me of that James McAvoy + Angelina Jolie movie "Wanted", where the names of the people they assassinated was supplied by a loom that "coded names of targets through deliberate imperfections in the fabric." I thought THAT was an interesting concept. Also, I'm a huge fan of James Bond movies, so if the woman is a spy, I'm intrigued by that.
No historical! A shame, there's some GREAT historicals out there, and many of them are James Bondy! But yeah I haven't been able to stop thinking about the embroidery secret messages thing since this interview!!
