Pachelbel was a daughter of the composer Johann Pachelbel . She had six siblings. Her artistic talent was encouraged in her early youth.

The motifs contained therein cover the following canon: wreaths, bouquets, vases and religious motifs. In the foreword to the sewing and embroidery book it is said that she is a famous artist, not only with the needle but also with the brush (so many finished pieces of art talk about its perfection ...).
