I have received my package of goodies from Plimoth Plantation and I have made my sample and I have sent it in. While the organizers of the project are quick to reassure us that the production of the sample is not a test, it is not a race either. But, am I the first? Will mine be the first sample in the sample notebook that is to be part of that exhibit? It is a small honor, I know, but I will take what I can get. My sample can be seen at my arachne website "Campaign for Modern Lace site" where it is the second picture. In reality the picture doesn't do it justice because the gold and silver thread make a truly beautiful piece of lace, one that any Cavalier or Royalist would kill to wear, or possibly be killed for wearing, depending on what era and what class he or she might belong to. _http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2366280010048870129mblGZK_ (http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2366280010048870129mblGZK) For more information on the recreation of the Laton Jacket you can check in at the Embroider's Story: _http://www.plimoth.org/embroidery-blog/index.php?mode=viewcat&cat_id=11_ (http://www.plimoth.org/embroidery-blog/index.php?mode=viewcat&cat_id=11) where the most recent news is about a male embroiderer named Richard, who is not only a spectacular embroiderer, but is also doing some needed work on upgrading their web site. I'll bet he didn't anticipate that when he signed up for this embroidery session! Please remember that even those who can't go to Plimoth can participate by making samples for the book and the mere purchase of the kit yields a tax deductible donation which supports the project.
