The Boston Needlepoint Panels UPDATED

The Patriot Ledger just published this article online about a series of needlepoint panels depicting Boston scenes that have been donated to the Commonwealth Museum at the Massachusetts State Archives.

These aren't the entire set but you can see the ones that are being donated by Nancy Roman by playing the video and then looking at the slide show below the article by clicking on the arrows.  There is a second video further down the page that is a brief interview with Ms. Roman that tells her needlepoint story of Boston in her own words.

UPDATE:  School kids visit the panels and meet Ms. Roman.  Use the side arrows to see the slide show.
