bunad embroidery
I am looking for bunad embroidery pattern/designs. I have searched and found
where to purchase a completed bunad costume or the history of bunad embroidery. I don't necessarily want costume designs, but also table runners or smaller piece designs. Also directions preferably in English. If in Norwegian I do have access to translators or I can work off detailed designs. I am also looking for the wool fabric and wool threads to stitch with. Thanks, Dani |

I found a newgroup online where someone else asked this and
this was the response. It might be worth looking in to. Doering Designs- Rt. 2, Box 43, Dassel, MN., 55325 Patterns for Nordic/Scandanavian "Old Country" costumes. Also hand-tatted lace edging, pewter clasps & eylets and trims. Send $1 for brochure. Also, Nordic Needle lists a bunad bell pull kit: http://www.nordicneedle.com/Merchant...Code=C10-00-00 If you search on Google you'll find other stuff. MaryR "Uniquedani" wrote in message ...
