Synopsis
Excerpt from Embroidery and Tapestry Weaving: A Practical Text-Book of Design and Workmanship
That great art patron, Henry the Third, chicfly employed for his em broideries, says Mr. Hudson Turner, a certain Mabel of Bury St. Edmund's, whose skill as an embroideress seems to have been remarkable, and many interest ing records of her curious performances might be collected. And I have found a record of an embroidered chasuble made for the king by Mabilia of St. Edmund's in 1242. The most splendid piece of embroidery produced for this king must have been the altar frontal of West minster Abbey, completed about 1269.
