A 10 inch embroidery hoop with black netting. In the black netting the phrase "We the People" copied from the US Constitution preamble. It's in that old-timey print style font. It looks like the scratchy uneven print in the old documents because of the way the stitching worked out. Did you know that people in some places use lace to thwart facial recognition software? I saw that recently in some other country.
Here's my #WIPWednesday, a #LimerickLace technique little project....
I just found out the other day that @katmabu.bsky.social has campaign embroidery kits. I hate the usual campaign swag baseball hats and t-shirts. I never wear either of them. But this I could be up for!
