Think Of Me

Postcard from Jack (AIF digger in France, WWI) to his girlfriend Agnes Foster, in Bendigo, Victoria. Probably 1916.

Jack survived the war, and returned to Australia. He and Agnes never married.

I completed this over the winter after first seeing Jillian Tamaki’s amazing embroidered book covers for penguin and wanted to experiment myself. Think I’ll try out a cushion cover or altering clothes next.
