Ann West's Patchwork: a fantastic applique panel - and work of art from 1800.

Even if you are not 'into' patchwork, do take a glance at this:

I just happened to turn on  the radio as the presenter said, go to the web page and see the detail in person. It's brilliant, you can enlarge the picture to see every stitch and the tiny descriptions of ordinary people at the time.

Such a beautiful and intriguing item and a very entertaining programme.

I heard the end of this programme earlier this week and it was fascinating I did mean to post about it but am very distracted at the moment.. so glad that @ClareInStitches posted about it

A beautiful piece of work. Thank you.
