My Textile Museums map has taken off – thank you to everyone who has sent me more details and to Sharon at In A Minute Ago for giving me a mention on her blog.
There may be a few changes to it in the future because, while perusing the help pages at Google Maps yesterday, I discovered that you can only put 100 saved locations in there – after that they start deleting the first ones! So I may split it into regions but if I do that I will make sure the links are on my sidebar and, if possible, in the Googlemaps page as well.
Odile kindly sent me a link to a Google Map of Textile Museums in France which has been compiled by France Patchwork, who also have a comprehensive list on their website. I won’t add these to mine due to the above constraints but will put the link to their map on my sidebar.
I wish I had learnt more French at school, sigh! Looks like a great link. Will you be able to translate it for us? Best wishes
Maggie
In Canada there is the Costume Museum in Dugald, Manitoba — you can visit both in person or in a virtual sense. The exhibits change on a regular basis — though it is called a Costume Museum, it simply means clothing from all eras and styles. This museum is surely worthy of your map?

Thanks for this, Susan. It certainly is worthy! I’m glad you mentioned it though, because I just remembered another costume museum which I haven’t added yet!
Hi Maggie,
Odile might be happy to translate for you… otherwise, I can have a go – though I don’t speak French very confidently, I did do A level so I can usually make some sense of written French with the help of a dictionary! Let me know if there’s any particular thing you want me to have a go at.
