I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that the italian needlework site
formatting link
now has some pages in english. This website is a product of the passion for information about embroidery and features many articles and "How-to" pages on techniques of Italian and other types of embroidery. There are book reviews and Museum references, links to other sites (italian and english), articles on tools and materials, some specific to Italy, some not.All input is voluntary and collaboration is welcomed. The website is updated about every three months and more english translation will be added as well as new articles. Click on the British flag at the top of the homepage for the english pages but browse through the italian stuff too - there are many pictures! The latest update was just posted so there are some html glitches to be worked out too - but be patient this is a fabulous resource and all the bugs will be worked out.Enjoy!Jeanine in Canada
