Love it.<br /><br />RSN have given me the cold shoulder when I have been in their store. Though the current lady has gone out of her way to be helpful.<br />My internal contact, Teacher Elizabeth Elvin is no longer at her home address. Being a graduate does not seem to be of interest to them.<br /><br />I am hopeful that information will become available for the provenance of these samplers through a wide area of questioning.<br /> <br />In the meantime, it has forced me t do some research which has been very interesting.<br /><br />My secondary goal is to have these samplers and some information out on the world wide web. In reality, they belong in a museum but once donated, they are unlikely to see daylight again. We have only one grandson as an heir and I do not wish to see the collection divided up. It is a problem.<br /><br />I have a story to tell of being a student in the 50's and have access to the official history of RSN. All this is likely to go on my blogsite which makes it universally. available. I am glad that you are looking at it as well as a few others and hope that the numbers will increase.<br /><br />And, I have my second book under way, and, I teach. Am busy busy in the normal way of things.!<br /><br />All the best, AnnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153269217959611136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132271772735719679.post-82739113259868393682012-11-16T03:01:57.887-05:002012-11-16T03:01:57.887-05:00Just a quick thought.

I know they have a website and I do not see why they would not be prepared to share the information on this work with you.Junohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457254342048483027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132271772735719679.post-21318258248537854842012-11-16T02:53:11.136-05:002012-11-16T02:53:11.136-05:00Thanks Ann for your reply.

Keep warm and drink lots of liquid, especially hot chocolate (LOL)Junohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457254342048483027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132271772735719679.post-64613329551002671072012-11-15T11:31:30.868-05:002012-11-15T11:31:30.868-05:00Hello Juno.

I have a lot of the stitch books but not all of them. Coral Stitch really is different to Coral Knot. I have been asked to give directions on how to do this stitch and will do so and will post it on this blog. At the moment, I am recovering from flu so it will be later rather than sooner.<br /><br /> I plan to post more samplers from RSN and other items too. This Blogsite will get added to gradually.<br /><br /> It will be a historical record of knowledge from the 50s which will be lost unless recorded now.<br /><br /> Thank you for your interest. All good wishes.

I have found a stitch called 'Coral Stitch' in two of my books '100 Embroidery Stitches' by Anchor published in 1967 and 'A-Z of Embroidery Stitches 2' published by Country Bumpkin in Australia. I must say that when I look at these two different designs my preference is for the more open 'negative' space stitching.<br /> Junohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457254342048483027noreply@blogger.com
