I got a very late start on Sampler Sunday today, and this is all I have to show thus far.
I had hoped that I would get all the outlined areas filled in today but, unless I stay up all night--and that would run into Sampler Monday, which isn't a thing (yet)--I don't think that will happen.
However, I did spend a delightful hour with a lecture sponsored by the Great Lakes Region of EGA. The people behind Relics in Situ talked about raised or dimensional embroidery of the 16th and 17th centuries. OMG, the close-up pictures they showed were phenomenal! The things the embroiderers of that time could accomplish--simply amazing! And, yes, I know there are people who do the same sort of work now, but what really amazes me is the tiny scale of some of the artifacts. It all makes me want to get back to that sort of work, if only to see if I can get my arthritic fingers to produce something resembling it.
Stay tuned for that.
That may have been written with tongue in cheek.
And on to another topic that rose to the top of my brain in the middle of the night:
What has happened to Maynia?
Do you remember when people started a new project on every day in May? Is anybody still doing that?
Or is that the reason there are now so many WIPGO programs to help people finish their started projects?
Inquiring minds want to know. I'd love to hear what you have to say.
