Embroidery and textiles I visited – part 2

If you missed part 1, you can read it here.

Greve Museum, Greve, Denmark

My next stop on my textiles tour was Greve Museum, 30km south of Copenhagen. It was a bitterly cold day with a biting wind the day I visited. I was deposited on a quiet, semi-rural road by the bus, to walk […]

Embroidery and textiles I visited – part 1

While on my holiday, I saw as much embroidery and textiles as I could reasonably squeeze in. There were a few places that I had to pass on seeing, such as folk costume museums that were not in the capitals, and therefore a long way away from where I was going to be. 🙁

So, […]

Exploring the needlework internet this week

It’s been a few weeks since I did one of these posts, but I didn’t have time to explore the needlework internet in the weeks up to and including the craft show. It’s taken me a little while to get everything back on track since then, so you’ve just had to be patient.

However, I […]
