Needle and ThREAD: Stitching for Literacy

Weekend Site Seeing

by Jen

You have got to see this! A needleworker records her life in cross stitch.

Hats off, Jean!

I aspire to a giant project. No idea yet what the theme will be.

Thanks to Monique for pointing this out to me on Facebook.

Weekend Site Seeing was published on February 27th, 2010 and is listed in Needlework.

What an amazing project! And she did it in a year! I’d love to see the book.
Baeaux Tapestry, move over. (It’s not a real tapestry either, but was embroidered.) I don’t think I spelled that right- aging brain.

It’s the Bayeau Tapestry. I’ve got a mind like a steel trap- unfortunately, it can be just as hard to get things out of!

What a cool link! I had heard it was done by Queen Matilda (wife of William) and her ladies. This site is fascinating. Thanks!
