Other designs 

 

My other designs are:

 

 

 Birds, Bees and Flowers

My jugendstil design. It will be 50x50 cm. I used Needlepoint Inc. silks.

 

 

Green Flowers

This is a design based on an old Dutch design. Everthing is stitched with cross stitch.

The model was stitched with one color, being Gloriana Blythe Green on mint green Belfast Linen. Ofcourse it can also be stitched with other colors, for example red threads on white Linen. Just choose the color you prefer and which will fit in best with your interior.

 

 

Size: 168 stitches wide x 178 stitches high.

 

 

 Alfabet board

 The alfabet board consists of 64 squares, being all the letters of the alfabet and also some numbers as well as 32 motifs. For this design we used only 3 colors of Gloriana threads, one being black (for the outside of the squares) and 2 other colors for the letters and the motifs. I have used Pink and Green, but ofcourse this chart gives you the option to use your own favorite colors (red and black?) . And the motifs can be used also for scissorfobs, needlecases etc.

Another new chart is a reproduction from an old schoolsampler which is in my possession. It is a sampler for people in the 2nd grade of stitching. Therefore it uses lots of different stitches, including some darning.This design uses only 2 colors of silk.

A Token of Love

We started our "Tea-box" serie with “A Token of Love”. 

This is a chart in the quaker style. As can be seen on the picture, this design is used in a tea/sewing box with a glass top. We found this particular box during the SMAC, tradeshow in Paris. More designs for this particular box will follow, which gives the stitcher the opportunity to change regularly the top of the box according to their interior or the season.Used in this design are 3 of the new colors of Gloriana silk. More information about the box will follow soon.

 Hendrikje de Vries

Hendrikje de Vries

 

This design is based on the remembrance of my grandmother, Hendrikje de Vries someone who loved to do needlecraft. She was born in the South Western part of Friesland. From this area a number samplers are known. 

Most of these samplers only have a few colors, being green and red.

 

I adapted the sampler to include some parts of her life, still known by my family. First of all she lived on a small farm, and there was a little house in the backyard, (bathroom) with a door with a heart on it. Also some furniture is included. And of course, the familiar alphabets, spotmotifs etc.

 

Model is stitched on 32 count Light Examplar linen from Lakeside Linens.

Design size: 286 H x 160 W.

I used a stitcher’s quarter (18 x 27 inch) as that leaves enough fabric for the sides for framing.

 

 Band Sampler

Band Sampler

 

This design is a reproduction of an old German Sampler from 1880, which is in my possession. I added the bottom part, with old European sampler motifs. And even though it is a long sampler , it is a joy to stitch.

 

 

Model is stitched on 32 count Light Examplar (Lakeside Linen). Model was stitched with Needlepoint Inc. silks.

Design size: 123 stitches wide x 491 stitches high.

Fabric size 8 x 30,7 inch (20 cm x 77 cm)

 

 Earth

 

4 Elements : Earth

Completely different are the 4 elements, Earth, Water, Fire and Air. All the designs are stitched with 1 color Gloriana threads. All the 4 elements can be stitched and framed apart, but can also be stitched as a bellpull. Fabric used is Lakeside Linen color Woodsmoke. It can be stitched on 28 or 32 count. Designsize is 60 stitches by 60 stitches.

Earth is one of the four elements, which are all designed in one color with Gloriana threads. Only one color is used per element, and especially one which has some link to the element. Hence I have chosen : Fall Foliage for Earth, as this is a brownish/reddish color.

 Water

4 Elements : Water

Water is one of the four elements, which are all designed in one color with Gloriana threads.Only one color is used per element, and especially one which has some link to the element. Hence I have chosen Deep Blue Sea for Water, as the color represents best the water. Also stitches used give the feeling of waves.The Water sampler consists of eyelets and cross stitches to represent the waves.

 Fire

 4 Elements : Fire

Fire is one of the four elements, which are all designed in one color with Gloriana threads.

Only one color is used per element, and especially one which has some link to the element.

Hence I have chosen  Rose Flame    for Fire, as this is a orangish/reddish color. For the Fire sampler I used that specific color

 

4 Elements : Air

Air is one of the four elements, which are all designed in one color with Gloriana threads.

Only one color is used per element, and especially one which has some link to the element. Hence I have chosen Slate Blue Light  for Air, as well as lots of eyelets, to give a more airy feeling.

The Air sampler has lots of eyelets to give it a more airy feeling.
