The Embroideress

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a complex site that includes the Cloisters (tapestry fame) and the Ratti Collection (for textiles of all sorts). They have decent graphics online in the collections section and just now have some Coptic bits, a nice English raised embroidery jacket, some Opus Anglicanum - you get my drift.

Decent ability to zoom.
