I am finding so many great embroidery blogs and reference pages from members of the SCA and other medieval living history groups from around the world, I decided to make a blog entry to keep track of them all! While I will post blogs about specific crafts as I dabble in them, this list below should be useful for almost any medieval textile research and examples you might be interested in researching. I will continually update this list as I go, so these will be easier to find.
Enjoy!

Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry Musée Condé, Chantilly
Book of Hours are a rich source of knowledge and information. Since my persona in the SCA harkens from the region of France, I turn to Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry Musée Condé, Chantilly. You may be familiar with the series of Calendar photos such as the one below:
But this book has so much more than the 12 months we are familiar with - and I found a website which has all of them available to view. The images can be blown up to see detail on the garments, and there is so much to see! This website is definitely worth a browse.

A Beautiful Swedish Frilled Veil
Medieval Silkwork is one of my favorite blogs. It covers an impressive array of articles and finished photos regarding many finished period projects. They made the fantastic frilled veil pictured below:

Red and White Wool and Linen Medieval Hood
This hood is a fantastic hand-sewn example of a medieval wool hood from the 13th-14th century. The buttons were hand cast pewter, with the lining made from linen. What a great inspiration piece!
Blue and White Wool and Linen Medieval Hood
I found this photo on flickr of a pretty blue wool hood with cloth buttons done in the period style, hand sewn facings and a linen lining. I would love to know where I can source documentation regarding the use of contrasting colored cloth buttons on 13th - 14th century clothing. I have seen painting documentation of the top stitching done in contrasting colors, and will post the painting when I run across it again.
