Thanks (I think) to Winterthur, the Plimoth Jacket, & Betsy, a fellow ANG Mainline chapter member, I can’t pass on the opportunity & challenge of the class, Tudor and Stuart Gold Master Class offered by Thistle Threads. 

 

The Winthurer, located in Delaware, has been on my list to visit. Betsy has spoken so highly of the Plimoth Jacket, a collaborative effort from hundreds of people of all ages. It is absolutely gorgeous from the photos I’ve seen.  And, for each of the 32 stitches taught there will be traditional line drawings to follow & animation to watch – a most impressive technology!  I think I’m still talking myself into it even though I already registered. Betsy signed on too! It’s an 18-month class (registration ends March 31).

 

The Plimoth Jacket is discussed at http://www.winterthur.org/calendar/calendar.asp and http://www.winterthur.org/contribute/needlework_jacket.asp?sub=needlework_jacket
