The Embroidered Jacket Tour of UK

Jacket Tour of England:
September 21 - October 1, 2010

Jacket Tour of Scotland
October 1-5, 2010

Thistle Threads and Hanging by a Thread have been busy collaborating on a tour of England and Scotland in Fall 2010 to see sites with important collections related to the Plimoth Jacket Project. Over the course of the project many have asked for such an opportunity to see the embroideries and costumes that have formed the basis for the research. We have been successful in opening up the storage collections at an extraordinary set of museums to see over a dozen of the embroidered jackets and pieces worked in the same workshops. We hope that you will decide to join us on this once in a lifetime tour. There are three options to consider - the longer jacket tour of England, the shorter tour of Scotland, or both - depending on your budget and vacation time.

Reservations will not be accepted until January 13th at noon Eastern Standard Time by phone order only. Directions are on the tour brochure which can be downloaded below.
