Me arriving at the museum:
…and with my dress, at the exhibit!
I’m pleased to say that it had a place of honor – it was the central focus of its corner of the room, flanked by two or three dresses to either side. Also had a poster of me in the dress! visible in the top right of the photo. (The poster photo was taken by Joe Decker, the photo itself by Mike.)
The white corsage indicates that I was one of the brides with a dress in the exhibit.
Here’s a photo of the plaque in front of the exhibit, with a very lovely photo of us at the wedding, courtesy of Jen Michelsen of A Girl and a Camera Photography:
They even had a little tablet computer set up with excerpts from my blog!
…and, finally, the “reason for the season”: me and my very beloved Mike in front of the exhibit. Here’s to many years more!
It was so nice to meet you and see the beautiful wedding ensemble that you wove. Cheers

Visiting my daughter in Massachusetts this weekend. I’ve enjoyed following your creative blogs, especially the story of weaving the fabric for your weddding dress and coat. My mother’s day present was a trip to the Textile Museum to see your creation in person. Seeing it up close, I was awed by the overall perfection and the fine detail. We were really thrilled that there was a sample of both the dress and the coat fabrics that we could touch. We were impressed with how soft to the touch they are. We don’t know anything about weaving but it was interesting to see the wrong side and to realize that your choice of materials made the fabric drape beautifully and shimmer in the light. I’ve never commented before but I wanted to tell you how much your work inspires me. PS, good luck with your new job!
Thank you! I’m thrilled you got a chance to see the dress, and that you liked it. And thanks for the well-wishes on the new job! I’m really looking forward to it. 🙂
