Now that the DDs are old enough to be home alone during the day, I spent much of the summer working. But I also had family trips to Canada and West Virginia to fit in. And a wonderful visit with some old friends. Needless to say, that left little time for stitching. But, I did end up doing a piece that will be coming up in an issue of NeedleArts as a companion project to an article on our chapter coif project and an article on the embroidery in the Agecroft Hall collection. This is the mystery flower (
shown back in March when I was testing colours). I still don't know what the flower is, but here it is stitched up using Gylt Silk Twist. Lots of fun.
The coif has been with a couple of other chapter members since June, but I will get it back this week to work up the motifs that have no instructions yet. That will be a fun project.
I've also just received confirmation that I will be in two fun classes at The Gathering of Embroiderers in February. I will be taking the two classes given by Tricia Wilson Nguyen - the lion and the floral lattice -
the top two classes on this page. Just in time for working on the goldwork in the coif!

How I envy you having the opportunity to take courses with Tricia!
Hi! Just followed you from the comment you left in my blog.
Hello :-)
I'll be adding your blog to my list, and having a lovely read of your entries after my nap. All looks most interesting!
oh! Of course I've been here before and already subscribed to your blog! I remember your Tudor Rose sepals.
(I have a memory Nothing like an elephant.)
Glad the wiki is useful.
