Chapter: 1680
After whispering something to her assistant Judd, Raegan then announced with a smile, "Well, if you all insist, I'll attempt it."
Shortly after, some set up an embroidery frame, prepared a piece of silk, and placed an embroidery needle and some threads next to it.
The audience's anticipation grew.
This arrangement was a nod to the Hayes Embroidery Method, renowned for its method where the needle wasn't changed, nor the thread cut.
When it was time to change colors, the new color was integrated using a concealed stitch technique.
Even though a documentary once showcased Casey's method, no one had been able to replicate it just by viewing it.
Raegan sat down, elegantly picked up the needle, and began swiftly sketching a bird on the silk with skilled hands.
Her remarkable dexterity and speed captivated the onlookers. Everyone was mesmerized, puzzled at how she accomplished such a feat.
In under thirty minutes, Raegan brought a lively bird to existence on the silk, portraying it with astonishing realism.
The eyes of the bird, in particular, looked so alive from every angle that it left the audience without words.
For a brief moment, the hall was so silent one could detect the sound of a falling pin.
After two decades, the sight of the incredible Hayes Embroidery Method again left everyone utterly amazed. They were lost for words.
ALL attention was on Raegan's skilled hands, acknowledging their extraordinary value.
Soon, the quiet was pierced by a single set of applause.
From the crowd, Stefan admired Raegan and clapped with enthusiasm. He hadn't stepped in to deal with the instigator since Raegan had asked him to remain passive. She had her justifications.
Moments later, as if jolted back to reality, the audience joined in with a roaring ovation, All skepticism dissolved.
Casey had once confirmed that only her daughter was privy to this embroidery craft. Casey recognized her five-year-old daughter's innate knack for embroidery and started her lessons.
At just five, Casey's daughter, now confirmed as Raegan, completed an intricate lion's head embroidery in under a month, which was impressive. It was clear Raegan had a more profound gift in this regard than Casey.
Raegan stood on stage, her delicate features capturing the camera's attention, glowing as though surrounded by light.
Watching the crowd's enthusiasm and their recording of her work, Raegan's eyes filled with tears. She had thought her mother's Legacy had been forgotten, yet many still held it dear.
