St Osyth was only a talented Woodworker and Model Maker
but her skills at Embroidery were also exemplary.

Some of this work can be found today housed in the
Embroiderers' Guild Collection, currently housed at Hampton Court Palace.

and won several prizes for her work

Embroiderers' Guild "Stitch" magazine

Chris Berry ( rtd) on behalf of the Guild has published a superb article about St Osyth`s embriodery skills in their "Stitch" magazine No 72 August/September
It is available on-line from the Embroiderers' Guild website.

==================================

During May, the Guild contacted me and asked if I could supply information on St Osyth`s needle work and handycraft skills fopublication in there forthcoming magazine.

When the Magazine was published I was informed I would be infringing copyright of their magazine if I published any of their material and I would be liable for legal action.

Conseqently, there followed a very heated conversation. having my own material basically stolen by the Guild.
Naturally ignored the threat and published the Magazine.
