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

Crystal Clear

August 15th, 2007 by Jill Hall
HA. I think I did it. Last week, or is the week before? Carol left a request in the comments. The photo of the full sleeve was blurry, could I post a clearer one? I consulted with Rich (I’m all the time with the calls, how do I do this? Can I do that? and always he’s so patient) and after the third time through the same explanation I think I’ve got it. The answer is, I can’t actually put a clearer picture in the post, Bloggie can only handle so much. BUT I can link to a better picture. And after trying it, apparently I CAN. Woo-hoo. (Thanks, Rich.)
 
CLICK HERE and be zoomed to a photo of the whole left upper sleeve. It’s still not so clear big like that, but roll the cursor over the picture and click and you’ll be zoomed in even closer. Sparkly clear now? Fortunately I’m easily amused, and even better, little things like this give me a sense of accomplishment…..
 
And just because I’m feeling so competent, here are some details of the embroidery. The pink round thing is a strawberry, done in the special sparkle thread.
 
Margaret, who was here volunteering last week, has a blog called Life, needlework and everything. Go visit and see more of her great-grandmother’s needlework, some beautiful work of Margaret’s, and her report on her trip to Plimoth. She did excellent work on the jacket, both in quantity and quality. Thanks for the link, Margaret, I enjoyed reading.
