Oh wow, neat!

I wonder who actually did this embroidery...somehow I can't see Rossetti himself doing it. But it's amazing looking. Great find!

Good comment - but I was very chuffed when I found it.

As you should be! I had no idea such a thing was made, although I guess it makes sense that embroiderers in those days would do such a thing!
