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

Columbine

Stitched columbine motif.Here, courtesy of Wendy, is a photo of the stitched columbine motif. In my opinion, it is the wackiest of the motifs on the jacket. It sort of resembles a columbine to me, but not much. And it looks crazy. Several columbines were embroidered this session; Norma B from Connecticut stitched this one.

It not only has the first bit of green GST on the jacket, but it also has blue, and pink, and red GST, not to mention a little plain pink silk. It’s the kitchen sink motif.

    Norma was the Columbine-meisterind last weekend. It it likely hers since she did three, I think. I only did one, and it is not the one pictured. Not sure if Kris A accomplished one or not.

    yes, that is my columbine (except the blue part). that’s the one that i stitched first — and did the green ceylon part last — the second time i did the ceylon part first, and it was much easier that way!
