Ecclesiastical embroidery

October 20, 2018 5:21 PM

Do you remember reading an article on the blue about a group of ecclesiastical embroiderers toiling away in an attic room of an Anglican (I think) church? "Ecclesiastical" and "embroidery" are search terms that ought to pull it right up so maybe I didn't see it here, but I swear I did. Any idea what I'm talking about?

The Ladies Ecclesiastical Embroidery Society and Mary Shoeser's English Church Embroidery 1833-1953: The Watts Book of Embroidery might also be of interest.
