HEATHER'S COMMENTS
Heather did Win the Grand Jury Prize In the Re-enactment category- the Top prize for that category
The tailoring on this waistcoat looks wonderful, and the embroidery is magnificent. I can only imagine how proud you must be to wear such an authentic work of art.
Heather, you work is absolutely stunning. I'd like to put you in touch with a few of my associates who also love embroidery and goldwork. I think they would love to share resources! melesseegmail.com ~Kristen (Maol Mide ingen Medra OL, OP, Trimaris)
Kristen, absolutely! I love sharing knowledge and learning new things. I shot you an email. Just in case you don't get it. here is mine hrclark30 gmail.com (remove the spaces). Thank you all for your wonderful comments, wow! This is such an honor!!!
Congratulations! Like I said before, this is absolutely stunning! Also so glad that Kristen will get you in touch with some really good folks who share your passion.
This is fabulous! This should have won everything. I'm currently beginning to study Elizabethan embroidery through the EGA and kits from Phillipa Turnbull and a jacket like this would be my ultimate goal. My hat is off to you.
I've seen this waistcoat in person, photos do not do it justice. It's stunning and a ton of embroidery work on linen.
