BBC: The Wisbech embroiderer racing to recreate the Bayeux Tapestry
As the British Museum prepares to put the #Bayeux Tapestry on display in London next September, the Cambridgeshire-based artist is furiously working away on her own full-size replica.
The original, nearly 1,000 years old and 70m (230ft) in length, tells the story of the 1066 Norman conquest of England and the Battle of Hastings.

The stunning traditional textile art of khayamiya made in Egypt is in danger of being lost with only twenty makers still creating the complex decorative appliqué pieces which take years to learn how to do.
