Stoke Edith
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London houses a large hanging with a representation of the gardens of Stoke Edith, Herefordshire, England. The hanging was made in England between c. 1710 and 1720. The embroidered picture was worked on linen with silk and wool thread (mainly tent stitch), and applique (the Chinese porcelain pots with fruit trees, worked with chain stitch).
