Rococo style stitching???
Has anyone ever come accross something that claimed to be rococo? I know it is supposed to be ornate, colourful, and full of gold and miniature details, and I also found some reference to ribbon embroidery...

All I've found is that Rococo stitch (I don't know if that's what you're refering to Agi?) looks like (or is also known as) a queen stitch. Is that what you mean Agi?

Re: Rococo style stitching???
TB, thanks for this info, I didn't now that, but no, it's not hat I am looking for. I would like to see some examples of stitching (possibly cross-stitch, but other embroidery, too) that is or resembles the Rococo style - here it was "in fashion" at the end of the 18th century... May go to the library...

The library might be a great place Agi. I found this book which says it has rococo in it, but it might only be briefly mentioned (and is massively expensive anyway) but could be worth a look at in the library.

Oh, that looks great! Thank you! I don't think I will find anything like this in our libraries, though... But perhaps they have something in Hungarian.
