Hobby: needlework

I've done my first needleworks when I was ten years old or so. I embroidered for example the pillow-case in linen on the image. I did also some cross-stitch works, they were monocoloured (blue or red) with stylized subjects. In Hungary there is a very rich tradition of needlework, different for every region. I also learned knitting and crocheting (it was very fashionable in the early 70's). Then came the period that for stitching I had no time at all as I was too much busy at school and at work (I took my degree in economy and worked as system organizer). It was after I got married and transfered in Italy that I've restarted with cross-stitching and knitting. I've found beautiful projects in the specialized journals. Here in Italy I learned filet-crocheting, too, it's very popular here. My mother-in-law is always busy with some work. I've made curtains representing the four seasons for my kitchen-windows and actually I am working on a bedcover for my daughter, accordingly to tradition in these regions of Italy.
