Patch by Jemima

Story: My patch is from one of the napkins at our wedding earlier this year. The wedding was Georgian themed, reflecting my research interest in women's intellectual lives and friendships in the eighteenth century. It felt fitting to express this creatively on our wedding day (I'd also painted Georgian themes panels and named the tables after literary circles) for many reasons. Not only as my partner has shared in my research over the years, but it was also in part homage to all the wonderful friends present at our wedding who I have met through research. They have made research all the more fun, enriching, and rewarding, and they have inspired me to look deeper into women's friendships, supportive networks, and shared endeavours in the past.
