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

Kris Comes to Stitch

This post was written on Wednesday.

I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with the boost in the arm that Judy, our weekend group, and now Kris Andrews is giving to this project. We have made tremendous progress on the goldwork and I think we might even get this project done some day!

Kris Andrews is stitching on the piece that Judy worked on for a week. She is also stitching here most of the week as she is staying with her mother who is local to me. Tomorrow she runs down to Plimoth for an important photo session with the piece she is working on. More about the results of that important photo session later.

Kris has been smokin’ hot in progress. Of course it is easy to look good when someone else warms up the piece for you! Another thing that has made me breathe a HUGE sigh of relief is how hard of a time I am
having to tell which of them did which coils. PHEW. But really, Kris is very fast and good.

Just look at how fantastic this piece is looking. Kris is diverting today and part of tomorrow from finishing the plaited braid and is doing the fiddly bits so some of the motifs can be ready for photos. I hope she gets the piece back for Friday and can complete the plaited braid parts. That would be amazing.
