It amazes me how many people worked on the jacket and the stitches & design make it a fine piece of art.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857832952433617886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507209775509589944.post-88129222961790177232010-02-25T12:21:11.647-05:002010-02-25T12:21:11.647-05:00You might enjoy this blog http://www.plimoth.org/e...You might enjoy this blog http://www.plimoth.org/embroidery-blog/<br /><br />At the crafts center in Plimoth Plantation, Massachusetts they have been working on an embroidered jacket, a coif, and some other projects. This blog has the story of the stitcher and some video. It's fascinating to see items being recreated from 400 years ago!Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507209775509589944.post-45159809327295677972010-02-15T20:45:36.615-05:002010-02-15T20:45:36.615-05:00wow, this is wonderfully told.

Minerva must be looking out for you. <br /><br />As a fellow-needleworker, I must ask if you have checked the framed crewel work to see if it is framed in a way that will not damage the textile? It looks like there may be some water damage on the back paper; hopefully this does not go through to the front. <br /><br />Let me know if you would like some ideas for archival handling of the piece, and congratulations on two wonderful treasures-- the crewel work and the wool.<br /><br />DeniseFamily Curatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187854767575444823noreply@blogger.com
