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

Many Happy Returns of the Day!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! One year ago today, this community was born. I really didn’t know what to expect, but I jumped into blogging with both feet (and the lifeline of Rich’s help) and found all of you! This year has been more than I could have imagined, and (maybe you’re tired of hearing it but it’s true) the bestest best part has been meeting – online and in person – all of YOU. All of you talented, thoughtful, enthusiastic, generous, just plain wonderful people who are interested in historic embroidery, historic costume, lace, knitting, spinning, and more. Thank you all for coming along and making the ride so enjoyable.

Tomorrow we start the first work session at which we’ll have TWO (two, two, two hahaha!) lace pillows working at once. Not to mention some embroidery. See you.

    Happy Birthday!

    Is it really only a year. So much has happened and this blog has become so much of my daily routine that it seems like it’s been here for much longer.

    I hope you all have a great time this weekend.

    Congratulations!
    I have learned so much through this project and the blog; I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and your “team” sharing all the information here. Would you hate me if I said I hoped the project would never be over? 8-)
    Keep up the great work!
