Several women in my local chapter of EGA have asked how much of the jacket has been completed now. I would love to see photos of the pieces in their current state! I agree with Carol.

And showing more of the progress on the stitching? It would be nice to see the progress! Ta Carol Hi

Love the photo, and actually have a question on it. Hard to see on my monitor... are the wonderfully fuzzy tops of the acorns made of a looped stitch like turkey-work, or are they actually silver purl that's been pulled? Love the work, though. Wish I could have seen it first hand! I, too would love to hear more about the state of the plaited braid!

I love the leaves! I know what you mean about running out of stuff to say, but I think you've done splendidly! I do enjoy reading the posts on here, and I learn a lot every time I do. I'd love to hear more about the plans for the plaited braid. Have you narrowed down a willing team? and decided absolutely on the metal thread? The GST works absolutely fabulously in all kinds of different surface stitches. I was dying to try it in satin stitch, and I did - and it works well and looks nice. Everyone who looks close up at my current project cannot believe the thread. And they all want to touch it and see it on the spool... and inevitably, they just have to separate some of the gold from the silk. I've lost about three inches like that so far! Keep up the great work! The picture is stunning! I love the leaves!
