Time has passed since the last post. Lately my embroideries are slow for the type of yarn that I use and need lots of patience... Here is my last Sampler.
Definitely classic!!! Perhaps little known and I might even call it "D'Antan" even if it is my own creation.... The fold bed sheet. The used our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, putting them on the bed in the morning, the paure usually consists of a fold and two pillow covers and I love them. And... This is one of the central motifs.
Drawn on old canvas sheet, 28 skeins of floss and a piece of braid in linen and hemp. Many changes of color for the birds and lots of patience to create the color palette. This is what is born.
