[MR] new book on Greenland textiles!!

[ATOC]

In my book on folkwear it states seams were covered with magical symbols to
protect the wearer.  It was a weak place, hence most garments were one
piece.

I have just heard from Else Oestergaard that she has a new book coming out
soon on the Norse textiles from Greenland.  Titled "Woven Into the Past:
Textile Finds from Norse Greenland", the Danish version will be out sometime
after Christmas with the English version appearing later.

To further whet your appetite, Karen Finch just told me that Else has made
"a
particular study of the seams, including why they are different in different
places.  Pre-sewing machine seams each serves a different purpose."

I will let you know more information as I receive it.
