‘The Eye of the Needle’ is a beautiful show. No photos allowed, however most of the embroideries are beautifully presented and published in books.
But the Ashmolean also features a wonderful embroidery collection of its own in their Textile Gallery. Here are photos for you to enjoy.

I am looking forward more and more to my trip to The Eye of The Needle!
