Greek Embroidery at the Textile Museum

This is a large exhibit, with most items (curtains, bedspreads, clothing, etc) from the 17th and 18th centuries. The work is fine, but not visually interesting to me. For embroiderers, I am sure it would be fascinating both for the designs and also the variety of stiches that are used (and a lot of "whipping", one explanation said).

Most interesting to me are the photos of rooms in which designs of this type appears, largely bedrooms, or combination living and bed rooms, from various of the Greek Isles. The rooms themselves are quite inviting.

The exhibit runs through September 3. I think you can ignore the Textile Museum this summer.
