Another small treasure that started life as a model for a class I taught here at Pinks Barn. (For the curious, I must add that I no longer have classes at my home as I am supposed to be retired!)
Hardanger is an area around the Hardanger Fjord in Norway that gave its name to this type of counted embroidery, where cut work was a feature of the local dress and is still worn in the present day. I am currently looking forward to another trip Hardanger where we will be staying in a hotel which has the family’s traditional costume in a large glass room at the front of the hotel!
