theItalian needlework website has had it's last quarterly update for 2008marking their third year online.There are 2 new antique books to download under: "Books" then: "...todownload - Downloadable antique books". Under the first heading: Adeledella Porta: Il punto filet a maglie larghe (Filet lace embroidery on net - In Italian) Il ricamo di Casalguidi (Casalguidi embroidery - In Italian).
There are many new English pages to read (click on the British Flag to go to the English Homepage) A few interesting articles on things related to needlework (like the Iron and the Laundry) and quite a few translated "How it's done" pages with particular attention to Hemstitches.
Don't forget to browse the new Italian pages too... Half-way down the Italian Homepage under the pink heading: "le novit=E0 in questo aggiornamento" are the newest Italian pages.
As always there are more Italian pages than English... one day we'll be caught up on translating!! :-)) Next update is scheduled for mid March.
Best of the season to everyone!
