Early Medieval Embroidery

[sbuchler]

So much for sticking with the 15th century this year: I’m back to playing with the bliaut thing (mainly because I’ve slowly been putting my project binder together for my unfinished/unstarted projects and the bliaut page with the associated fabric has really been inspiring me! :-) ) . So, I thought I’d do the easy stuff first: the embroidery.

Yes, I

Alen has some info on embroidery (Decidedly later time but at least it's something!) I do know he documented his transfer method of pouncing and then drawing in ink on the fabric.

At least the alter cloths do prove that the stitches were known?

I love the 12th Century. I have posted some images here on LJ. Maybe you can find something and ask about it - I think I might have more stuff that isn't up too.
