Eight Days at The Royal School

Katherine is in London, studying at the Royal School of Embroidery in Hampton Court.  She is doing the "canvaswork" section, which is what we call needlepoint.  Here is what she has done after eight days.

The 2014 Exemplary (NAN)

The 2014 Exemplary award winners are up on the National Academy of Needlearts' website. NAN gives multiple first place ribbons in each category but if you click on the little photos you will see why they have trouble picking only one winner.  Everything is amazing!

I suggest you pick a quiet time to browse, savoring each wonderful piece, all of which are technically excellent and often outstanding designs.
