[Northkeep] Baronial Wall Hangings

[Rene Shepard]

I can bring my sketch book and and stuff and see what we can come up
with..this is going to be so much fun..are we going to make the borders
painted or are we going to go whole hog and embroider the whole thing onto
some linen or canvas?
We could, if anybody is interested, use some wide margin inkle weave or card
weave trim to do the edging and use quilting stitching to put it on the
borders..or is it all going to be done in paint? Ima just thinking..

tries...)
