I loved this! Thank you for taking us to various exhibits that I, at least, will probably not have the opportunity to visit. And for showing us ways we can use technology to explore more for ourselves! What a gift. Thank you for sharing information and knowledge with us!
Thank you Tricia, the exhibit looks fantastic!! Thank you as well for all the info you gave us and close ups . Will definitely plan on a visit to that web site .
Thank you Tricia! This was great to see some of these beauties in real time with your descriptions and thank you for the opportunity to win a catalog! So much fun.
Tricia, what a wonderful video! I had no idea that DAR had an exhibit going. I confess that I might have been salivating upon seeing the portions and pieces of the exhibit which you featured here. I look forward seeing this exhibit in person. Thank you for all of the detailed information. It seems a lifetime ago when I was happily seated in your classes at A Sampler Gathering in Plymouth and also Annapolis. You were my favorite needlework teacher. Life circumstances have prevented me from holding a needle in my hand to do plain and fancy needlework for quite a while. I shall endeavor to do what I can to try to resume because I consider the work to be very important actually. God willing, along with a body that will be better able, I can at least try to start with a small project. Many, many thanks for all that you continue to do. You are an absolute treasure.
This is fascinating. The Broderie Perse is shown under "Which Stitch?" on the web site. It claims in was done with "buttonhole stitches in tight formation", and around the two central red flowers I can see the little cross over part of a the buttonhole stitch, as well as in some dark blue, cream or silver stitches, but it looked like satin stitch more often than not from what I could see. It would be helpful to see more from a side angle. I really appreciate your showing your textile travels to those of us not able to attend these exhibitions.
I agree - there are a few flowers where it does look like buttonhole but most are satin stitch. I wonder if the stitcher started out that way and didn't like it or what went into the decision process
@@triciawilsonnguyen I would think she would start the applique centrally and branch out. At least I would. So that would mean buttonhole early and then satin later...? I don't recall seeing a cornucopia of flowers before. The red stripes she stitched across the horn are an interesting feature. She must have done that last, because there are flowers and leaves stitched on top it. Are they very angled satin stitches? By that point she must have been getting very adept at placing straight stitches! Is the thread perle cotton?
@@kimedge7493 It isn't likely as perlee cotton wasn't around then. it was in the 1880s that the process of using caustic soda to treat cotton was invented and later to be used to make it shiny to make thread so this is very likely silk.

I hope you do go to the exhibit - on until end of year
Thank you! I’m a DAR member but can’t get to DC to see the exhibit. I look forward to participating (virtually) in the November symposium!
