The Wemyss School of Needlework

We've all heard of the Royal School of Needlework but this isn't the only needlework school in the United Kingdom. There is the Wemyss School of Needlework as well.  You can read about their history, their collection of historical needlework, find out about their classes, and browse some of their kits on their website. Their blog is fun, too.

If you are a fan of traditional needlepoint or needlepoint samplers worked in Appleton crewel, don't miss their needlepoint kits section.  Love that red and white stocking!

Let's Recycle Vintage Needlepoint

I believe the current queen of recycling vintage needlepoint is Brenda Ische.  Check out her house and some of the restaurants she's decorated and see if you agree.  Study the photos carefully and don't miss the "headboard" in her guest bedroom.

Ecclesiastical Embroidery in England

Reed is in Oxford, England where he discovered a huge range of needlepoint pillows and kneelers in the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin.  Use the right side arrow to see all the photographs he took.  Sadly, he says there was no information as to the designer(s) or stitchers of these beauties.
