stitch by stitch

Have you noticed the beauty of embroidery on the reverse side? I photographed it and then played

 

Story

My mother, who was crippled with rheumatoid arthritis, was an inveterate needlewoman who created the most intricate and beautiful embroidery, from the simple crossstitch to blackwork and hardanger. The museum invited her to mount an exhibition. And so all her best work was transported to the venue and displayed to its best advantage. I took my mother to the opening, which was beautifully organized, speeches were made, the press took a photograph of her and her work and then finally she was free to see how her work had been displayed.

 

Didn't take her long to notice that one of her award winning pieces which had been exhibited in a closed display cabinet, had been hung back to front. "Vat is dis?" she asked enraged. "Can't you see dat dis is de back?" And of course no-one but she could because her work was so painstakingly done and so beautiful one couldn't tell the right side from the reverse.

 

Leaves one with a question.

and what is a weed?
