European Embroidery & Costume
38 jigsaw puzzles
Mostly European embroidered samplers, costumes and textiles. Samplers are practice pieces that girls finished while learning to sew, stitching alphabets, flowers, birds and houses. Many also bear the maker's name and age, so traces of individual people from hundreds of years ago survive intact. Dense embroidery shows its true worth when you zoom in and look at it stitch by stitch.
