Oh my gosh. This was so much fun! #JASP #JaneAustenEmbroidery

A small hoop framing a linen napkin. In it is an embroidery of a floral sprig with scrolling stem

More prepping for @janeaustensummer.bsky.social in the form of some samples. This 1796 design from the Lady’s Magazine which we used #JaneAustenEmbroidery is a gentle into Georgian/Regency hand embroidery and originally an allover design repeated at intervals on aprons/gown lengths. #janeausten

A wonderful evening last night at #YorkLitFest at "What is a Classic?" with Vybarr Cregan-Reid and Sarah Dustagheer. It was lovely to talk about Jane Austen (and #JaneAustenEmbroidery), Charles Dickens and Shakespeare with such terrific scholars at a sold out event!

And for those interested, I will be talking about transatlantic crafts and running embroidery workshops based on my work on the patterns and for my book (with Alison Larkin) #JaneAustenEmbroidery at the #JaneAusten Summer Programme 2025 in Chapel Hill, NC in June! www.janeaustensummer.org/about-4 2/

This arrived just before Christmas and I still can’t quite take it in. #JaneAustenEmbroidery is now available in Russian. #needlework #ladysmag #georgian #regency

I may need to watch some videos to get the embroidery stitches in #janeaustenembroidery book. The written descriptions just don't work for me, no fault of the writers.
