beautiful close-ups of old embroidered gloves

If you haven’t been to visit The Embroiderer’s Story lately, I suggest you do. Tricia has a number of posts featuring close up photos of gorgeous old embroidered gloves from the Gloves Collection Trust, courtesy of the Fashion Museum, Bath and North East Somerset Council.

They are simply stunning, and to see them in close up means that you can really see the stitching and the threads they’ve used.

In support of old gloves, you can also Stitch a Snail for Storage, and thereby help raise funds to rehouse a collection of beautiful old embroidered gloves. You purchase the kit from Tricia, and some of the funds go to the glove storage project. See Tricia’s blog for more details.
