    I took an Embroiderer's Guild of America class in Kolocsa Flower embroidery. The middle pic of all the flowers look alot like the ones we did.

    I love Hungarian embroidery! Thanks for sharing

    Hi,
    A friend just emailed me and told me you posted one of my photos. I would like to thank you for giving me credit. Have you been to Hungary? I have lived here for over a year now and the rich folk culture was one of the drawing factors for my move to Hungary. I just love the Matyó embroidery and color! So inspiring!
