Hey there, Folk, Have you seen the latest Piecework, yet? "Garden Embroidery" with snippets of a stomacher and an Eliza. purse, plus a lovely coverlet all in florals. There is also a presentation of Stumpwork with instructions and a project. Knit cuffs that might be useful for the reinactor,and a wonderful 'penny rug' for contemplation by the 19th C, folk. There is also an article on collecting and caring for household textiles (including a handful of 'naughty pincushions' that I have not seen before). And finally, a calendar of textile events and shows from around the country. Now there is a summer vacation to think about... Alas, now to make it through April Fool's Day, which I will be celebrating up in West Moreland Cty (Pa.) presenting "Baubles, Bangles, and Beads", another vintage/antique fashion show for a fundraiser for a service club scholarship program. I will be trotting our some of my beaded and fancy clothes one more time...
