Hi All, Just wanted to let you know that the

quarterly update is online now. In response to surfer feedback they have revamped and redesigned the website in the hope that it is easier to read. There are, as always, a few kinks to work out but the substance is great. There are a few more pages translated, (click on the British flag in the top left corner) an article on Casalguidi, Sardinian Embroidery with scads of great photos, a how-to for Antique Stitch (the third in a series) and an article on circular filet netting. There are two new sections, "Leading Characters" which is to describe the prominent figures in Embroidery - past and present, and "Grandmother's chest" which will showcase antique embroidery works. Go in from the Italian version of the website under "Baule della nonna" and then "velo sardo" to see some photos of a spectacular Sardinian embroidered veil. We appreciate feedback and contributions are welcomed! Next update target date: mid-March Enjoy! Jeanine in Canada


This is such an important endeavor. I follow its development carefully. Thank you for keeping us updated on its progress. Dianne

That is a great site. Thank you for sharing this information. Thanks also for giving me more to learn about. I don't know that I could ever do that quality of work but it is fun to look and dream.

Just to clarify: "contributions welcomed" means informational contributions, not monetary contributions!! This message was in NO WAY meant as a solicitation. Jeanine in Canada
