It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts. I’ve been a little busy doing dreadfully hard things like cruising, then getting back to normal at home, and getting on with some work. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Firstly, take a look at the embroidery on the linked page<\/a> and try to keep your jaw shut. I sat here with my mouth open, marvelling. Eventually all the members of the family came over and marvelled too. You’ll need to run it through a translator to read the words, but it’s the pictures that are the main attraction anyway.<\/p>\n

Another one for the online translator is this blog post<\/a> about an antique cloth with Punt ‘e N\u00f9 (Sardinian knotted embroidery). It has beautiful embroidery with some really interesting motifs that I hadn’t seen before.<\/p>\n

With the birth of the new English princess, Charlotte, the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) Embroiderers Guild has been commissioned by the Australian Government to embroider a woollen baby blanket<\/a> for the little princess. It will feature Australia’s national flower, the wattle. Best wishes to all the embroiderers – I’m sure you’ll do all Australian embroiderers proud with your beautiful embroidery!<\/p>\n

I found this beautiful example of Cypriot lace<\/a> within the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s online collection. It doesn’t say that it is Lefkara lace, but I suspect it might be. That’s one of the things that sometimes annoys me about catalogue information for museum items: unless the curator has intricate knowledge of many different styles of embroidery or lace, sometimes they’re very vague in their descriptions.<\/p>\n

The skirt<\/a> of this makes me very happy.<\/p>\n

When I’m not finding interesting and inspiring things on the internet, I’ve been doing a lot of stitching and finishing. I’ve finished a small Mountmellick piece ready for a class submission and I’ve been working on several projects for the book. Trying to bring a sense of completion to a lot of mostly done projects! <\/p>\n
