Update on Dutch Embroidery

Emmy from the Netherlands has kindly named the Dutch embroidery as Doorstopwerk, and advises it is no longer popular there. Thank You, Emmy (who has a wonderful website - the words are in Dutch, but the pictures need no translations).

Emmy has also loaded some more photographs onto her Flickr pages.

And Googs has scanned the example she had yesterday, plus another one.

And I did a Google and found lots of pages in Dutch with Doorstopwerk, none in English, and no useful illustrations.

Isn't the net fun, when you get a subject like this!
