  • Stitches in Time
    Stitches In Time Atwood House Exhibit Highlights Chatham Artist’s Embroidery Work story and photos by Debra Lawless A special exhibit at the Atwood House Museum represents over a quarter of a century of one Chatham artist’s stitch- ing. On display for the first time in “Works Most Artful & Ingenious” are over 30 stun- ning embroidered pieces by Ann Grey. Grey began her needlework over 25 years ago, when her mother was also interested in the craft. For a time, they worked as a team. “She was a real marathon stitcher,” Grey recalled in a telephone interview last week. “I thought it would be helpful if I could paint some canvasses for her.” By canvas, Grey means the canvas mesh onto which the stitching is done. But Grey herself wanted to take things farther along. “I wanted to learn something more advanced,” she says. For Grey, this never- ending learning process has kept her art fresh. Grey sought the help of Barry Barnes, owner of Town-Ho Needleworks on Route 6A in Brewster. Barnes suggested that Grey create a traditional sampler. “That was the first time I realized there were all things.” canvas,” she says. “That’s what makes she says. Nevertheless, she has used Tyvek these stitches you could do,” she recalls. So after that first sampler, Grey turned my work a lot different from what other in many ways in her work: bonded velvet “I had no idea about them before.” Grey’s to Flemish illuminated manuscripts for people do.” Sometimes she might consult onto it, heated it over a gas flame on the 1986 sampler displays a variety of stitches inspiration.

We really aren’t sure of her age because the second digit is missing. We surmise, though, that she was a pre-teen or early teen based on the quality of workmanship. The house exhibits amazing precision and she was fastidious enough to include the ladies’ feathered hats, yet the lettering in her verse was rather haphazard (so much so that we took liberty to make it legible). She didn’t even finish stitching her alphabet! We call this version of her sampler “an adaptation” because the original was stitched in wool and we opted for silk. We also chose to replace missing stitches with what we thought likely would have been in those spaces, as well as modifying a few pieces of fruit in the baskets. The style of her sampler and spelling of her name, as well as the verse selected, indicate the likelihood of a Scottish origin for this 1813 sampler.

There are undulations along the seams of the pillow, and particularly within the larger embroidery motifs such as the flowers. The undulations in the embroidery is possibly a result of the tension of the thread and also the localized stiffness of the yarn. The embroidery is sewn directly to a coarse plain weave linen. The linen is backed by a weft faced twill cotton and the two circular pieces of fabric were machine sewn to the sides, piping, and base of the pillow, which is a plain-weave orange cut pile fabric. The top of the pillow is machine sewn to piping wrapped in bias strips of the pile fabric with one vertical seam and two diagonal seams, and a strip of pile fabric creating the 1 3/8” siding of the pillow.
