FCQ Regular Meeting

Program: Lecture: “Threads of History: The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry”

Cathy Grafton

Like many who love needlework, I consider the Bayeux Tapestry to be one of the most amazing embroideries ever stitched.  I have studied this work since I was a child and have visited Bayeux to see the tapestry seven times. 

After learning the "Bayeux Stitch" I have worked on my own embroideries featuring scenes of this 11th Century embroidery.  This new lecture will feature some of my work, along with the history and secrets that this epic embroidery still keeps today.
