A very fine needlewoman has died

She won a national quilting championship and was renowned for medieval depictions,a cross between appliqué and a bit like stump work but not raised up. I went to a talk she gave many years ago and her work was beautiful and presumably still is. She also happened to be an historian and married to an MP. So how does the Times begin her obituary. By describing her appearance and dwelling on her camel coat and hairnets. Aaaaaagh. And Camilla Long in the Sunday Times thought Rihanna's vile nasty sounding little film was great. I despair for women.
