I visited St. Gallen in 1997 and below are some of the photo's I took
at the Lace Museum.
I couldn't resist taking a photo
of the hood of this car!!!
This stunning wedding dress is all done in needlelace if I remember
correctly. Those chrysanthemums are very padded and 3 dimensional.

intricate plotting of the pattern creation.

Wouldn't you love to take this home and study it!
Lovely Swiss embroidery that looks so light it resembles lace!
This swiss embroidery is so airy it is truly a LACE!
This tiny portion of a tablecloth was done in needlelace. It was made
in Brussels in the mid 1800's. The figure in the center almost looks like
he's making lace.
The Museum in St. Gallen didn't have any brochures but this picture
is from a pack of postcards about this tablecloth I purchased there.
