Dr. Susan Kay-Williams, Executive Director of the Royal School of Needlework, returns this week, along with RSN Curator Dr. Isabella Rosner, in a show sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery. Our topic for this sixth visit from the folks at the Royal School is digitizing the entire Royal School of Needlework collection. This is the second, along with the RSN Stitch Bank, project that promises to significantly change the knowledge base needleworkers have at their disposal. Even more valuable is that the digitized collection and the RSN Stitch Bank will be connected in many ways. Maybe the best part is that these two monumental resources will be freely available to all needleworkers. In our conversation, we learn how this project got started, the vast amount of information that will be available, and when we’ll start seeing items from the collection. As with all other RSN activities, it pays to have your name on the school’s mailing list so you can keep up to date. To communicate with Isabella about this effort, you can send email to collection at royal-needlework.org.uk. Applause once again to the Royal School for its leadership role in educating needleworkers of all types and at all skill levels. Also, enjoy photos of items from the RSN Collection in the slideshow below.–Beth and Gary
