HUR BÖRJADE DET/
HOW IT ALL STARTED
It started 25 years ago when I bought my old house, with a no existing garden
I wanted a beautiful garden to live and paint in - like the artist Monet - and I had only my two hands. I invited people to join a course in free embroidery/ / and asked them to pay with work for a garden.

In 1993 we started the Swedish Embroiderers Guild in my kitchen. We were 24 persons from all parts of Sweden
1994 we held our first exhibition in the small comunity house in my village.
Flags were mald in the course the week before.
