We've returned from a wonderful trip, first visiting Iceland where we met the woman behind the Friendship Tapestry, and were privileged to see it there; then on to the family farm and summer camp in Norway, what an incredible experience. The women's native costumes were richly decorated with cross stitch, Hardanger and beads - a surprise to me, and so beautiful. Everything on the costumes is handmade, even the fabric, all hand-woven and hand stitched. They are truly treasures.
Stop in to see more pictures!, and see the beautiful Icelandic pattern book Sandy brought back.
And, of course, check out the new patterns that are arriving weekly. Sandy fell in love with the new Mermaids of the Deep from Mirabilia - and she's NOT a mermaid person!
