I am limited in time, but in a quick google, I ran across this excerpt from Piecework: Queen Victoria's Shawl, A Chinese Export Embroidered Silk Masterpiece JA02:24. Critchlow, Jo Of course we all know "embroidered" can be used loosely, but "Chinese Export" and "Silk" are intriguing, and I am not certain (and doubt) that Jo Critchlow was the author of the article. This would at least indicate that someone submitted an article to the periodical, and that Interweave should be able to obtain the article and/or author. There is also an excerpt from a book, saying Harriet Tubman received a "white shawl" from Queen Victoria (as her fame grew), and also a black one, of which she put on immediately and wore frequently . . . the white one relegated for pictures, etc. Of course the item would have been "white" then. Of course in my life specializing in color expertise, it was commonly shared that there are over ten thousand shades of white . . . Perhaps someone can ferret out more information.
