One was bought on Ebay and came from the UK, one came from an antiques store in Hobart, Tasmania, and the other came from an antiques store in Windsor, north west of Sydney. I talk about their features that are significant, whether […] In this episode of White Threads Floss Tube, Yvette Stanton talks about Mountmellick embroidery.
