We are sorry to hear that another great stitcher (and shop owner) has left us behind as they continue their great adventure.

The Duchess of Needlepoint

While looking for something else online, I ran into this mention of Ellen Ordway, "the Duchess of Needlepoint."  She stitched a lot of rugs, and designed and stitched a magnificent Alice in Wonderland screen which you'll see here.

I wonder where that screen is now….
