Dear Susan, Thanks for reminding of this wonderful resource. I have been to the Landesmuseum in Zurich Switzerland twice to view needlework, the first time 40 years ago. On that visit, I was carrying a letter of introduction to the curator responsible for embroideries - written in the local dialect by a Swiss-American embroidery friend. On that visit I was taken to see white-on-white embroideries - very old- and certainly of interest to those partial to the history of Europe and the very early needlework produced there. Digital photography has advanced to where everyone can view treasures in the great museums, without the expense of travel. It is very expensive to travel in Switzerland. I recommend this museum, but - perhaps in the interest of everyone getting the most from travel - send trailing men to other tourist attractions if they do not share your interests(?) It is horrible to be rushed along by them. Nearly every European city of note has museums devoted to subjects that they will enjoy. Then, when you meet for dinner, you both will have something unique to add to table conversation(?)

Lace collars are represented within the tapestries, but scroll down & take a look at the edge of the tablecloth in the last pic. Embroidered or appliqued?
