Woodlawn's Snow Policy

Folks who are wondering if the Woodlawn Plantation needlework exhibit will be open when it starts showing here this week will need to check whether the Fairfax County Virginia schools are open or not.  Woodlawn will not be open if the schools are closed or are opening late due to snow.

Prepare to Be Shocked

Prepare to be shocked. If you are a stitcher or finisher in the New Orleans area, keep an eye out. Sounds like a fellow stitcher took these.

Adding to the Story

A group of folks on Alderney Island have decided to add the missing ending to the Bayeux Tapestry by stitching the coronation of William the Conquerer in a reproduction style.   There is a link to the website for the project as well as a BBC video of it being worked.  Enjoy!
