Embroidery Websites

[Carolyn]

I enjoyed Cake Guru's cross-stitch website, but I've been hooked on embroidery since Sandy sent me a Swedish Midsommar tablecloth (Margaretha's Atiljer?) and wonder if anybody has any links for sites with kits for tablecloths and runners and stuff. Is Margaretha's on line?

Hej Carolyn,

Yes, they are online

Here is the site: www.margaretha.se/

There are other sites too, depending on what you like:

www.permin.dk

www.marks-kattens.se

www.bmb.no

One site in the U.S. that shows a lot of great designs from manufacturers that are Scandinavian is (so you can see what is available here):

www.lbkits.com - this site makes me drool! lol

Thanks, Elise. I'm not strictly into Scandinavian, just things like tableclothes with LOTS of detail. Sandy sent me this gorgeous cloth with a circle of roses, poppies, wheat and cornflowers AND the Swedish flag and it's complex and the colors are gorgeous AND BEST OF ALL, I can use it when I'm done. I like things that have a purpose when you're finished, rather than pictures to hang on the wall.

I'll check the sites out.
