Today we had special guests join us for lunch. Jonny and Shelley spend much of their time caring for the rare breed animals in the 1627 English Village. That brief sentence doesn&#8217;t begin to capture all they do (I realize I say that often about the staff here, but it&#8217;s always true). They build and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tonight I have another reading suggestion.
Epstein, Kathleen. An Anonymous Woman Her Work Wrought in the 17th Century. Curious Works Press, Austin: 1992.
This is one of my very favorite embroidery books. It’s a gem, packed with historical background and excellent how-to instructions. Sadly, it is also out of print.
The whole little book (52 pages) is an [...]]]></description>

Reminders for the June stitchers:

If you have and are able to bring a magnifier and/or a lamp, please do. We’d appreciate it very much.
If you’d like a seat cushion and can bring one, please do.
Please avoid strong perfumes. One of our number is allergic.

Thank you.

		<description><![CDATA[Just a short note tonight. Two more sets of stitch instructions: detached buttonhole and knot stitch. This ought to give you something fun to try in between Memorial Day parades and cookouts.
This was a busy week and a great deal got accomplished, but now it’s Friday and a good thing too.
See you tomorrow.

We’re working on contingency plans, one of which involves choosing a completely different linen from a different manufacturer, one whose US [...]]]></description>
