Textiles in Holland

[Ulla-Britt Önnestam]

I am going to Holland in April and as I don't know much about textiles from Holland I need your advice. What would you recommend? Exibitions, museums, shops etc.

There's a lot to see in my country! I know about an exhibition in Amsterdam 'Stitch a day', which I'm going to visit later this month. Here's the link, scroll down to see the info and a video of the exhibition. I've visited lots of great museums over the years, but they are all over the country. So it would be easy to know which part of The Netherlands you're going to visit.

You’re welcome. Last week I visited this exhibition. I was impressed by what those women stitched under these difficult circumstances.

Great link. This proves that women with the need to stitch will stitch no matter what the circumstance is.
