For the Pennsic LII Known World A&S Display, I decided to show my journey through the 12 categories of embroidery as a member of the Keepers of Athena's Thimble. This was great until we reached Pennsic and realized I had left a bag of embroidery home. I went to CLIC and rewrote my documentation to show pictures of the items left behind and still had a decent display. Since coming home, I have updated my documentation with links to items I displayed (or would have) that I've documented on my blog. Not all items were paneled. And while I started out strong to do all 12 categories (mostly done in 18months), I lost momentum trying to get competency in all 12, So this is a recap of my journey over the last 4 years.
