[MR] Crosstitch . . . Period?

[Michelle -TJ- King]

I'm not an expert on embroidery (and no, I don't play
one on TV).  But from what I understand, medieval
cross stitch is very different from modern cross
stitch in that the crosses *overlap*.  You see this
both in the Egyptian examples, as well as in the
examples from medieval Spain.

Cheers,
Violante
