“Nazis, needlework and my dad.” This is a fascinating article about a British officer to cross-stitched while held in a POW camp in WW2 and managed to include subversive, coded messages into the design. His son is also a stitcher and has a few pieces on exhibit at the V&A in London. You can see his dad’s famous sampler here.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
