Mountmellick Work: Irish White Embroidery By Jane Houston-Almqvist shsdparentproduct and sewing needlesMountmellick Work Is Probably The Best Known Style Of Irish White Embroidery. The Richly Decorative Patterns Of Thick Cotton Thread Depict Natural Forms, Especially The Abundant Flora Of The Area.
