EMBROIDERY WORKSHOPS
I am offering embroidery classes for students of every level. At this point I offer custom workshops only, contact me for more info.
FOLKÂ STITCH BLEKINGE
Swedish folk stitch from the County of Blekinge. A lot of different stitches are used, a dominating one is the one sided satin stitch which will transfer into long and short stitch on larger areas. Also typical for Blekingesöm is the artful lattice stitches used to fill larger areas in flowers and baskets. Other characteristics are the mixed colors, knot stitches, dots and the types of leaves depicted.
