Hardanger embroidery — or Hardangersøm — is a form of embroidery, and is named after a region in southwest Norway in the county of Hordaland by the Hardanger Fjord. It is sometimes called whitework embroidery.

Peterson has done Hardanger for quite a few years and has created many gifts of Hardanger for family and friends. She has a shop in her home and there will be supplies and samples. Her Christmas tree is full of Hardanger decorations.
