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

October 28th, 2007 by Jill Hall

Tonight’s guest embroiderer is Sharon H. Sharon is in the midst of a pharmaceutical degree program and took time out to visit us and work on the jacket.

The second picture shows Sharon’s hands at work.

The last picture shows some of Sharon’s embroidery and some of her lace treasures. The lace came from a friend, who had a big bag of it from a relative. The friend didn’t know what to do with it (seems amazing to those of us who love needlework, but it happens a lot) and Sharon stepped up to give it all a good home.

Has that ever happened to you? Once you get to be known as the knitter, or the needle worker, or the sewer in your circle of friends and family, do things, tools, supplies, treasures, just find you? It does to me.

Thanks for all the well wishes; I am feeling better.
