Italian Needlework Website updated

It's 101 degrees. Can I make a glass of something tall and cold instead?

LOL! Weeeeeelllllllll.... okay! Here it's still kinda chilly! ;-)) Jeanine in Canada

Thank you so much for these updates, I love the Tuttoricamo site, and have saved the books mentioned for later.

Cheers

I think you can buy this book from Ruth Kern's Bookstore:

also from Lacis: It was published in 1925 so I think that copyright still has a couple of years to go before expiring... I think the cut off date right now is

1923? I'm no expert. I know the lady that had it reprinted was investigating copyrights, etc. many documents were lost or destroyed during WWII and the author was Jewish so many of her rights were "taken away" to put it mildly.

It's a great book with absolutely masses of photos.

Bookstore:

It is a great book. I've got my university library's copy -- and they're going to make me turn it in when I graduate! The nerve of them for doing that! Susan
