There's not a lot of info, but it's a source!

I know...just don't do a lot of posting, anymore! How are you doing? Hey,
we are thinking about coming up for a few days this summer....possibly this
week, but more likely the first week of August. I'm hoping I get a chance
to see you! :-)))) Matter of fact, as long as you're home and feeling up to
it, I'll be sure to make it to see you! :-))) But I won't know for sure
until the last minute, since George is such a spontaneous person and doesn't
plan, just decides at the last minute! LOL Take care! :-)))

Actually, there's a page off that one that does explain pretty clearly
how to use one. Thanks, I didn't know anything about them before this!

Look towards the right side and you'll see the link to The Embroiders'
Story. It's a blog about the re-creation of a 17th-century embroidered
jacket. Once in the blog, hunt for the archives- posts started in May
2007, then since the posts are displayed by most recent first, click
the link to page #3 (in May 2007), and scroll to the bottom of the
page for the beginning of the blog.
Apparently, they are still looking for volunteers to stitch.
If I wasn't the only employee where I work, with a huge college
tuition bill hanging over my head, I really wish I could participate.

If you ever have the chance to take a class from Tricia Wilson Nguyen
(she did the research and designed the project) GRAB IT!! She is a
wonderful teacher and a fountain of information. My EGA chapter was
lucky enough to have her for a class. What a blast! She is great to
work with and has some great stories about her research. Truly an
amazing embroiderer!
