I was able to get out of the kitchen long enough to make a personal introduction to the GST and the night cap project she had on her frame. WOW! The GST is just amazing stuff. It makes the most interesting noise as she pulls a strand through the fabric. She had done a couple of partial motifs with the red GST. I am still imagining how wonderful this will look in candlelight. Ah, this is the stuff of embroiderer's dreams, even those of us that can not make it to Plimouth to stitch. You can be sure I'll be making a pilgrimage to see the finished jacket when it goes on display! Melanie Anne brought some of her work along to a local SCA event here in Southern Maine last weekend.

I noticed on today's entry that the second picture is labelled UKstitchers. Being from the UK myself and highly jealous of these ladies do you have any more information about them i.e. what part of the UK they are from, etc. What other countries have been taking part in the development of the embroidery? Do your blog statistics tell you how many people are following the blog and from which countries? I think I probably already have an idea of the answer. Yes, I know I am sad :-) but I find it immensley intriguing and at the same time enchanted that embroidery is able to generate this amount of comaraderie. Long may it continue. Jane Hi
