Margo has beaten me to it with the link, but it stands for Royal School of Needlework, I trained there just before the move to Hampton Court when it was at Princes Gate - facing Hyde Park in the early 80's (eeek! that long ago :shock: )Originally posted by suehenyon

Not now, but I do enjoy my meetings with the local branch of the Embroiderer's Guild and regularly teach sample techniques. Embroidery is slower to show progress than quilt making and is nigh on impossible to be able to make a living at. You need a day job (or a husband with a day job) to pay the everyday bills and anything the embroidery makes is a little bit of gravy at well below the minimum wage.
The alter frontal is now in St Peter & St Paul 's Church Buckingham, Buckinghamshire. My mother co-ordinated and did most of the sewing that was required to transfer all the goldwork embroidery onto new silk damask and the photo is from when I went down to help her with putting on the interfacing & the lining. Stitching the hanging loop by machine was difficult since it didn't really want to fold by this time and was very heavy (gold embroidery, through original damask & linen, cut out & stitched onto muslin, then cutout and applied to new damask backed with muslin, interlined with duck canvas, lined with linen), so it took 3 of us to manuver it through the sewing machine. We had a slight surprise when during a break Compo the dog put his paw on the sewing machine foot and stitched about an inch of it for us, so it really was 'everyman & his dog' helped 8)Comment

Rosemary, I was interested in the work you did on this the first time I heard about it. It is so wonderful it is great to be reminded about it.
