Dear Jeri,
When I wrote my email, I felt sure that you would know of the Fellers
- and must surely have the books, but it was late and I was tired and
not up to searching the archives. Thank you for the URL. This time
I've bookmarked the search page.
Nor did I have time to look around the Ashmolean's own collection. I
was actually there to see the Discovering Tutankhamun exhibition with
family. They were then sent off to explore Oxford while I looked
round the Eye of the Needle exhibition. However, I picked up a
leaflet guide to the Ashmolean embroidery "trail" and I'm keeping
that for my next visit. But anyone else visiting the museum, do look
out for it as its not at the main entrance, but was available in the
mini shop at the door to the gallery housing the Feller collection.
Presumably a special to capitalise on the exhibition.
Oh and thank you Jeri for the info about all the other places to see
embroidery. Please don't ever stop posting! I may only skim some
messages but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate them and the work
that's gone in to writing them.
Indeed, thank you to everyone who replied to my post. I'm relieved to
say not a bad word was written - unlike the anonymous peer review
I've just received for a paper submitted to a professional journal
.... I too have had my rejections Brian!
Please lets keep this list a friendly place where everyone feels they
can contribute without fear of censure or criticism.
Best wishes to all,
Jane
New Forest

For the few who study early embroidery,
It was delightful to read Jane's August 13th memo about the Feller Sampler
exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum. I have visited this museum 2 times,
and found much thread work in the regular collection to be of interest.
Both times it was arranged that a staff member open storage drawers to show
pieces at rest.

In case you think I neglected to ever tell you about the Feller
Collection, see my 2012 memo by going to our Arachne archives and
putting "Feller
Collection" in the Search box:
