We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the wonderful Mia Hansson to hear the story behind her extraordinary mission to recreate the Bayeux Tapestry at full scale. 🧵

Nearly 10 years, countless stitches and an incredible amount of dedication later, she's now approaching the final stages of this remarkable project.

From traditional techniques and colour choices to puppies, perseverance and preserving history, it's a fascinating read.
