The other day I had a strange email from my mother which said simply, “Google Tentmakers of Cairo”. So, like the dutiful daughter I am, I did just that. WOW! Thanks Mum!
I won’t make you Google it, I’ll just give you the link, and it is definitely worth following. Tentmakers of Cairo. Take a look around the site and enjoy the pictures of the tents/quilts. This is a tradition I know nothing about, but I’d like to learn more.
Mum heard about it while listening to the radio overnight and thought it would be something that interested me. She was right!
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
Thanks to your Mum for listening and getting you interested in ‘The Tentmakers of Cairo’ keep an eye on the website and take a look at our Facebook (www.facebook.com/thetentmakersofcairo) page for more information on the film and our upcoming documentary about the men.
Cheers.
