Hi Mirjam, Forgive my ignorance, I had always thought a Suzani was a term
applied to applique type of work, so you could have a Suzani bag, or
throw...or something. You talk of panels, is yours a screen....Do please
enlighten your dim friend in the UK.

Cheers.....Cher

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the link! Isn't it wonderful how much there is to learn about
crafting? Something for everyone isn't there?

Loads of hugs,
Melody

Dear Cher !!! Good evening !!
Suzanni means needle in Persian Tajik language.
And it is used to describe the silk embroideries made by Uzbekian
women who lived in central towns along the Silk road : Bukahra ,
Tashkent, Nuratau and Shari-Sebz. It always includes Embroidery .
of course you can apply this to a bag or a cushion , but the main big
works are Bed covers.
As i have already written about it , i will snail you some printed
matter about it,, [just made a note to it on Sunday. ] the bed covers
are made in panels so that several family [female[]members can join in
the work .
You are not dim we are just lucky to have Jews who came here with this
wonderful tradition ,,,
