Quoting michaela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
On the other hand, I just read something saying that trapunto (or a
similar
technique) goes back at least as far as 1485, and possibly back to the
14thC, so I may have to get into it!
Nooooooooo!!!!! I have been thinking of trapunto stays from the 1840s now
you have to tempt me with hints that it was used prior to 1600!
I'd love to know more:) Especially if I can then go and find out if it was
used in 16thC Germany/Netherlands;)
According to Staniland (if memory serves), the Tristan Quilt is
Trapunto. Dunno if it was a technique that ever showed up in clothing
or not.
