Faith Revealed
The serene magic of ‘Faith’ is that she was created out of the work of almost 260 different hands – those new to embroidery and those expert – but she is breathtakingly beautiful.

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

Unbelievably magnificent!
It sure is. I saw photos and a story of the waistcoat in the Guelph Mercury newspaper on Sat Dec 12, 2009 (Guelph Ontario,Canada) – a story by Linda Matchan. The conection to Guelph is that Lyn James, a needleworker from Guelph, was selected to work on the waistcoat with 250 other needlework craft persons. What an amazing piece of workmanship.
And it would look wonderful with a apir of jeans!
