Something to keep you warm…
“Embroidery Project II
Running time: September 2007 – December 2008
This time around we decided on a more *ahem* useful theme for the project!
Embroidered items can include hats, gloves, blankets, stockings, cloaks, anything that you use to keep you warm. These and the embroidery on them should be researched and documented as well as possible, as we are interested in promoting research just as much as the embroidery itself!…”
Something to keep you warm II
“Embroidery Project III
Running time: Jan.-Dec. 2009
It’s that time again! This year we decided to stick with the same theme, to enable our very ambitious participants to finish, while setting a new challenge for anyone who wants to join in new this time around. The purpose of the challenge is to help you challenge yourself both by learning a new stitch and improving your research skills, in order to do more authentic work! Items can include anything that you use to keep you warm, such as hats, gloves, coats and cloaks.”
