Trip to Breda.
















Finally visited the exhibition, curated by my friend
O.M.
Lots of samplers to see from different countries,
some of them few meters long, also lots of beautifully
embroidered clothing!
My presentation is rather poor, but that is because
of the reflexion in the glass and the darkness.
The Pinokkio and girl's head were made in a ladies
embroidery workshop . pic 5-6-7
The volcano and cute weavings were made in a
children's workshop. pic 8-9-10
There will be a demonstration November 21 of
Turkish needle OYA, a sort of needlelace in button-
hole stitch.
Thanks for the nice words on my 'Age of Discovery'
post!!!!! :-)
