Recreating a 17th-century embroidered jacket, The Embroiderers' Story chronicles its progress.

Get Well Wishes

August 14th, 2007 by Jill Hall
One of our embroiderers had to leave early last week due to illness. I’d like to send some get well wishes to Joanne D; we all hope she’s all better in no time, and will be able to join us again.
 
I incorrectly credited one of last night’s photos. The close-up of Shaina’s hands embroidering was taken by my daughter, not by Laura, as I was informed this evening. “It’s an interesting blog. I like it,” she pronounced after reading the last few entries. “It could use more pictures, though.”
 
Happy to oblige with two details of the exquisite work done by our generous volunteers. The first one is, surprisingly, a "spiky winged butterfly" (as opposed to a round-winged one). The second is a partially worked honeysuckle. Some of the flowers look to me exactly like what they are; the pansies, for instance, and the borage. This does not.
