Over the next year, we will be recreating a 17th-century embroidered jacket. The Embroiderers' Story will chronicle its progress.

The Lackey’s Leaf*

bud

Lace sample arrived today from Robbin.

Today Emily embroidered on the jacket. The first thing she did was a pink bud, shown here next to someone else’s leaf. The top corner shows a little of Wendy’s pansy. This bud is on the lower left corner of the back of the jacket.

leafNext she did a whole leaf on the coif. Here’s a picture of Emily pointing to the leaf. The photo on the left is Emily’s leaf. Hers is the dark green single leaf on the left, above the pink bud.

Here’s Emily working on the leaf.

This is her last week working with us, then she has to go back to school. We’ll miss her.

*Now we’re all teasing Emily.

    Plimoth is indeed fortunate to have had a Bennington student do her Fieldwork term with the Plantation. Bennington’s Fieldwork term is an excellent feature of the school, which gives the students the opportunity to try out different things. The students are creative and passionate. And I am not just saying that because my daughter is a Bennington grad :-)
    I hope Emily had a satisfying Fieldwork term and wish her good luck on her return to Bennington.
