Attic Needlework is proud to present Ann Wildman’s Work, a sampler from Jean Lea’s collection, a loving tribute that continues Jean’s legacy of kindness and love of fine needlework.
Jean purchased this sampler, we believe, with the intention of charting it. She had begun the process of selecting the silks. From this point, a true collaboration took place. Aimee (AKA Mrs. Flossy) a friend and one of the Ladies of the Attic, charted the sampler, refining the silk selections with Carolyn. 100.3 and Soie Surfine silks will be provided by Access Commodities, a long time and valued vendor at Attic Needlework. Finally, another long time friend and vendor at The Attic, Lakeside Linens, is providing linen for the model and kits (as supplies allow). Additional hand dyed silks are coming from all our favorite purveyors of silks…Gloriana, Belle Soie, Dinky Dyes, and Gumnuts. Together, we will provide you with beautiful kits, so hundreds of needleworkers can bring Ann Wildman to life and fulfill Jean’s dream of enjoying Ann Wildman’s Work in a new era.
Ann Wildman may be purchased only as a full kit: chart, thread, and fabric. However, you may kit the project according to your choices below. Every kit will be assembled as a custom order, with the care that The Attic is known for. Orders will ship as your particular selections are available.
