Embroidery is decorative needlework done in thread on fabric commonly used for altar cloths, fancy clothing, and decorative panels.
This is a sample of someone embroidering. See the needle poking through on the right? The drawing on the fabric is used as a guide.

A fancy castle would have a privy like this.
Catherine’s is probably closer to this.

“Michaelmas, or the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, is celebrated on the 29th of September every year. As it falls near the equinox, the day is associated with the beginning of autumn and the shortening of days; in England, it is one of the “quarter days”.
There are traditionally four “quarter days” in a year (Lady Day (25th March), Midsummer (24th June), Michaelmas (29th September) and Christmas (25th December)). They are spaced three months apart, on religious festivals, usually close to the solstices or equinoxes.
They were the four dates on which servants were hired, rents due or leases begun. It used to be said that harvest had to be completed by Michaelmas, almost like the marking of the end of the productive season and the beginning of the new cycle of farming.” Traditionally people ate goose on Michaelmas.
