Nicole’s Berlin Work
Here are two more pictures of the August show & tell.
This antique embroidery belongs to Nicole. This weekend is the first time Nicole has joined us; she’s already planning to come back in September.
Nicole bought this piece; it’s dated to about 1875 - 1900. It has a French title, A L’amitie Filiale, which means something like the love of a daughter for her parents. It may have been done in a convent school. It reminds me of one my
great-grandmother did, but hers is coarser, and was probably made in the mid-twentieth century.
Here’s a picture of Betty-Anne admiring it, and asking Nicole some questions about it.
On the table in front of them is one of Mary-Denise’s hats, which date from around the end of World War I.

I absolutely loved being there this weekend. I’m still exhausted, but it was incredibly exhilarating to have so much time to devote to doing something I love, and to participating in such a great project. Let’s do the rest of the costume too…

Sounds good to me!
