Misafir (Ruth) Geldi of Crafting Istanbul has posted photos of a Turkish arts and crafts exhibition she attended in June. You’ll want to see this marvelous stitchery. Ruth says,
The pieces I am showing you in this post are all very characteristic of the Ottoman-Turkish tradition in counted work. You will see various stitches, some of them not really used in Western Europe or the US, but perhaps familiar to Eastern Europeans (since the Ottoman tradition weaves together Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Eastern European strands).
Ruth’s narrative is as interesting as her photos. See the post.
