Rachel Wright<p>Detail 7/n</p><p>Templar crosses in red silk. William Marshall joined the Templars on his deathbed, (not uncommon at the time) and he was buried in Temple Church.

Rachel Wright<p>Now that the post is up on my blog (VirtuoSew Adventures), behold!</p><p>William the Marshal returning to the Chateau de Tancarville. The border is blue for his travels outre-mer, with broom for the Plantagenets he served, Templar crosses for Temple Church where he was buried, and roses for the garden the Victorians reburied him in.</p><p>Split stitch, trellis couching over surface satin stitch, and surface embroidery, all in silk, with basketweave underside couching in gold.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OpusAnglicanum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpusAnglicanum</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SplitStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SplitStitch</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/UndersideCouching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UndersideCouching</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/WilliamMarshall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WilliamMarshall</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/WilliamTheMarshal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WilliamTheMarshal</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/MedievalMoversAndShakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedievalMoversAndShakers</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/HandEmbroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandEmbroidery</span></a></p>
Rachel Wright<p>I've got all the silk <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SplitStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SplitStitch</span></a> done on <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/WilliamMarshall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WilliamMarshall</span></a>.<br>I'm really pleased with it - I think the border has turned out just as I want, reminiscent of a medieval Book Of Hours, and the image of William tells just the story I had in mind.<br><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>embroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/HandEmbroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandEmbroidery</span></a><br><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OpusAnglicanum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpusAnglicanum</span></a></p>
Rachel Wright<p>An angled view to see the effects of the different patterns of <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SplitStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SplitStitch</span></a> on my <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OpusAnglicanum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpusAnglicanum</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Embroidery</span></a> celebrating <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/WilliamMarshall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WilliamMarshall</span></a>.<br>It is so intriguing to see the subtle and not-so-subtle differences in effect from a single type of stitch and thread.</p>
Rachel Wright<p>I've filled in the first of the crosses!<br><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/WilliamMarshall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WilliamMarshall</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OpusAnglicanum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpusAnglicanum</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SplitStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SplitStitch</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SilkThread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilkThread</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/HandEmbroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandEmbroidery</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Embroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Embroidery</span></a></p>
Rachel Wright<p>I've finished the sprigs in William's frame!

Rachel Wright<p>A quiet evening of <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SplitStitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SplitStitch</span></a>. I have yet to decide (or maybe remember) what stitch to use for the heavier title, but the finer one was obvious..<br><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DreamsOfAmarna" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DreamsOfAmarna</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ViewOfTheExcavation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ViewOfTheExcavation</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/WorkInProgress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkInProgress</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/HandEmbroidery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandEmbroidery</span></a></p>
