Ukrainian folk artist Vera Sukhorukova will join us virtually from her home village outside the capital of Kyiv. Her presentation is about traditional and modern embroidered Ukrainian wedding towels (Rushnyk). These towels play important roles in a traditional Ukrainian wedding ceremony. Vera will talk about and show pictures of these elaborately embroidered towels, from ancient times and those being made now. She will also show various stitch techniques and discuss the meaning of symbols used in the embroidery patterns. See the August 2022 issue of VC p. 7 for details
