Step back in time with me ......

this lovely 17th Century Coif was made by a friend of mine Debbie the lace is also hand made by her ....the black is done in stem stitch and seeding stitch and the gold, chain stitch ......it's exquisite .........
Here is Debbie with her hand embroidery at the Romsey's You're History day ...

Bit of a time warp here ..........

    Beautiful coif, I love the blackwork, and the perfect headgear for draughty English houses. I need one now.
    Love,
