In the interest of making a lot of embroidery progress in a short amount of time, we’ve scheduled four sessions in January. We’re going to run two sessions back-to-back, twice. If you haven’t been able to make any of the sessions so far, now’s your chance – come to Plymouth in January (OK, doesn’t have the ring of April in Paris, but we’ve got embroidery). Let me know jhall@plimoth.org if January is a possibility for you and we’ll talk dates. Remember, the maximum we’ll be able to have is 12, and by then we’re likely to be down to 10 frames so the sessions will fill quickly.

 

 Thanks for the comment, Carol, I’m glad the picture is clearer. If you hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have tried to get a better one. If anyone has other questions, please leave me a comment or send me a note.

 

Two pictures tonight. The top one is an array of Lauren’s work; all her designs and mostly her stitching. The second is another detail of the late 17^th-century stumpwork picture Joanna Hill brought to the embroidery session.

 

And I thought I’d link again to the stitch directions, for those who’ve only recently joined us. Here’s REVERSE CHAIN STITCH and DETACHED BUTTONHOLE STITCH.
