Thanks for the positive comments on the divided carriers from Orleans Carpenters on Friday’s post. We’re grateful for their generosity, and pleased to be associated with them. By the way, there is a treat on the way to go with these carriers. It’s in development now and should be ready by the end of May. More later.

Last embroidery session was in the Wardrobe office. Several embroiderers have mentioned that one of the side benefits of being in the office is the chance to see the behind the scenes work going on – interpreters in period dress frequently come up for a pair of mittens or a fitting or to ask if anyone can help them with the fax machine. This was a little surprise on the last day of the April session, tiny Rebecca Prence stopped by with her grandmother, Mary Brewster. The pink peeking out of her gown is a knitted wool undershirt, based on the tiny one in the collection of the Museum of London. Thanks to Wendy for this photo.
