  1. In the same room, in a small table, are some family memorabilia items.

    It includes the very lace cuffs he's wearing in the portrait!!1!!

    It is not common to find the actual lace from a painting. I am, of course, delighted. They are in quite good shape too.

  2. New virtual winter classes have been announced by #TheLaceMuseum.

    Full disclosure: I'm a volunteer moderator (unpaid) for some of them. Mostly that means I start the Zoom recording and send out the links.

  3. My Mountmellick embroidery flower after boiling & ironing. I visited the Mountmellick Embroidery Museum recently and saw some beautiful examples of old Mountmellick work

  4. I was helping with a class in #DresdenLace this week, and I learned wonderful things. The students shared great books that I added to the #Wikipedia #whitework page.

    Another resource new to me was the Royal School of Needlework stitch bank.

    How cool is the "square boss stitch"???

  5. Are there any folks on here who do whitework in general or Dresden work in particular? I have some theories I am to test out… #needlework #embroidery @fiberarts #whitework

  6. Continuing to work on an article on #C18 women’s domestic #embroidery (and then some administrative writing) and to keep myself going and disciplined I am writing in pomodoro style chunks. My twist on this is do two with a microbreak and then have 10 minutes sewing and practicing pulled thread work. Everyone does this, right? #iamwriting #academicwriting #writing #craft #needlework #whitework
