Dame Judi Dench and Her Embroidery UPDATED

Recently a bit of an old interview with Matthew MacFadyen has started circulating on the World Wide Web again, with the section that talks about Dame Judi Dench and her stitching highlighted. I finally managed to find the original source for you.  Mr. Macfadyen starred in Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly and Dame Densch and this was a publicity interview after the movie came out in 2005.

The stitching part is at the end, the last two paragraphs.  Sadly, neither of the actors interviewed can describe what the stitching is like except that it is all swear words.  I can't find any photographs, either.  Perhaps she is working one of the Subversive Cross Stitch kits?

UPDATE:  Another news article on her work.  Still no pictures.  :(

"Perhaps she is working one of the Subversive Cross Stitch kits?" You just made my day. I read about this so long ago and it thrilled me. I, too, am always trying to find more info! Julie Jackson, Subversive Cross Stitch

Glad you enjoyed it, Julie. She must be quite a character, Miss Dench!
