Congratulations to the Plimoth Jacket Dreamers and Stitchers





The Plimoth Jacket, once a dream, is now a reality! Under the excellent project management of Tricia Wilson Nguyen over 250 stitchers including an Air Force captain just back from Afghanistan, a trio of monks, and a husband and wife team who spent their 36th anniversary stitching sequins, and many, many others who flew in at their own expense and volunteered their time over 3 years, one of the most ambitious stitching projects of our time is now completed. Just celebrate the astonishing beauty of the design and workmanship that has gone into this project. It is something of which we can all be proud. What had you in mind to stitch tomorrow....? "Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." Goethe
