The Princeton Embroiderers First Post!

Welcome to the opening post on the Princeton Embroiderers' blog. We're a group of stitchers and friends, we welcome visitors to our monthly meetings and weekly stitch-ins, and our blog will show us at work, at play, and on the road!  To get in touch and ask for more information, email princetonega@yahoo.com.

Our October meeting, on the first Sunday, will be a talk on the Unicorn Tapestries in the Cloisters, the medieval section of the Metropolitan Museum of NY.

Currently we have a group exhibit, up for the month of September at the Mary Jacobs Library in Rocky Hill, and our blog admin. took pictures.  Eventually one of the library staff insisted on taking pix of her, too, and placed her in front of each side of the exhibit!  

Comments I heard in the course of the photo shoot:  what amazing work, look at that miniature quilt, and oh, is that blackwork?  and needlepoint?  It went over well with library patrons, and if you're local, come and see it, too.

So here's the gallery of pictures:

Looks great - looking forward to following the group, which is almost as much fun as actually being there in person.

What beautiful work. I am particularly partial to the biscornu. I spy a bit of Boud work in there too. So glad to see everything is under lock and key as I'm sure it would be very tempting to some people. I look forward to following the blog.

How lovely that the local library welcomes and supports the work of local artists - love that.

And I am particularly fond of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" ornaments!! What a clever way to display them.
