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

Like a Needle in the Carpet

October 21st, 2007 by Jill Hall

Today was the last day of the October session. An awful lot was accomplished this session, even though it was only three days (this is the last 3-day session; all the rest will be four days as we’ve found that’s more efficient). 

Wendy caught one of the lighter moments today, when Laura dropped a needle. Embroiderers converged on the spot, searching high and low, but the needle was never found. Wendy said the picture quality wasn’t up to her usual standard because she was laughing so hard. 

The second picture is a postcard Plimoth Plantation made in 2004, when the Red Sox capped a record-setting post-season with their first World Series win in 86 years. Even the role-players in the 1627 English Village are part of Red Sox Nation. Now, since I mentioned them twice and they won twice, the laws of fan superstition state that I must mention them again. So – one more time for the pennant – Go Sox!
