ELSA: As you can see it was a big event in the village, when also "important" men took part.

However I miss to see some women- faces! Even if I can understand that it´s a good thing that also men considder the work that women do as important.

Here you see the Banner made by women from the village. It was very much appreciated.
And also two women taking part in the big sewing party. in the exhibition in the very south of Sweden.

I´m improvising a speech in the opening of the day, instead of reading the Manifesto which the Danish artist Bettina Andersen had already said all about...unhappily for me.

Yes, this became a big day when several groups of embroidering persons took part. Thanks to the Embroidery Academy of Tacklebo. But most to the group in Skane Sy-D In Denmark they embroidered too and in the USA, Minneapolis.
