Hejsan from chilly and rainy western Sweden!
2007 is Ulricehamn's 700 year anniversary. We don't know exactly when
the town was founded (and there are traces of much earlier settlements)
but we know from archival sources that Ulricehamn dates to at least the
14th century. Of course, at that time the town was still known as
Bogesund.
In honor of our anniversary I will make "medieval" the theme for my
spring art quilt exhibit, although not necessarily just the 14th
century. I'll have to make new garb since I am rather stouter now
(Hey! some of it is muscles!!!) than when I was in the SCA in the
U.S.A. Fortunately, I already have fabric in my stash for making a
wool gown and linen underdress. You can see my felt hat in my avatar
pic.
In fact I would LOVE any and all input, especially from other
historical costuming/textile art type people, as to interesting ways to
develop the theme!!!
