A woman reaches to pick up the quickly dried laundry at Vittulsberg's farm outside Uppsala, Uppland, Sweden, 1940 - by K.W. Gullers (1916 - 1998), Swedish

"Moravian Slovak wedding apron; satin stitch embroidery on batik chintz, made about 1920 possibly in Milotice near Kyjov. My great aunt said it took a whole winter to make such an apron; she said they made a sketch on paper and then just started embroidering. Each one is a masterpiece made by village women who were true artists - bringing the flowers of their garden to bloom on their aprons all year long. The white band is intricately embroidered and I love that nothing has to match - they just tossed in what felt right!"
