Textile has always been part of people’s life, from birth to death. Tools made of textile are there everywhere, in households, farming and of course clothing.

Little children's eyes were covered with a textile blind do they would not be damaged by vicious powers. Women about to give birth were fed by their family, often for a longer period of time. The food was brought along in nice embroidered textile, sometimes in addition to pottery or porcelain. When water was needed, women went to wells with jugs kept in embroidered textile.

At Easter, there is the Easter shawl. In the kitchen, women tied a woven or embroidered textile around their waist when they made pasta. Rolling-pins were kept in embroidered textile cases. Sometimes the rolling boards were kept in embroidered textile, too.
