Created work
Isabel must have used her skills to design and create many beautiful works of embroidery, some of these must still exist and it would be fabulous to find them. It is possible that work is still on display, but it could also be stored safely in personal collections or on display in personal homes.
Much of her work was of a religious nature, but not all. There are some lovely drawings capturing other ideas which would be equally as exciting to learn more about. There's a few mysteries to consider here.
If you have any ideas please get in touch with jeni.mcconnell@gmail.com, or phone 07722 519889.
