Yvette Stanton explains the basics of Guimarães embroidery, which comes from Guimarães in Portugal. She shows the sampler from “Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães”.
(Sob story alert!) No embroidery being worn today because our iron broke yesterday and we need a new one. I was planning to wear an embroidered shirt, but not without ironing it!
