I wanted to let you know that the Italian Embroidery website
There is a new article by Vima deMarchi Micheli in the =93Prominent Characters=94 section and lots of new book reviews as well as other articles to read in English.
If you browse the new Italian pages, scroll down on the Italian homepage to see the list of links under the heading "Le novita in questo aggiornamento"; in particular under "Arte" there are some pictures of some lovely embroideries from a museum exhibit and also some works of needleartist Gilda Cefariello Grosso.
Next scheduled update is for mid-December.
Enjoy! Jeanine in Canada
