My Embroidery patterns
newest Oct 2011
Til Karin - 4 Elements
I designed this piece with the inspiration of Karin Larsson's Elements, woven
in 1903. She was certainly ahead of her time. I truly admire her and her legacy
of embroidery and woven patterns. How she managed to be so creative, while
raising 7 children, doing the sewing of their clothes, cooking and caring for such
a large household is amazing. Her original weaving is still on the back of the sofa
in their Sundborn house in Sweden.
It is stitched on 36 ct "Legacy" linen from Picture this plus and
using Gentle Arts threads
This and my other patterns may be purchased from "Ink Circles"
my daughter Tracy Horner's web site
or at embroidery shops in your locality
Norsk Fairytale
This piece is done with some Hardanger style stars/flowers, but no cutting!
It was embroiderd with inspiration from early Norwegian weavings.
Thorough instructions are given in the pattern
It is stitched on 36 count "Relic"linen from Picture This Plus
and using Gentle Arts threads.
Fjord Ponies
Those of you who have seen or knit my "Fjord Ponies" sweater will
see the resemblance with this embroidery. Looking at my own graphs
gave me the inspiration to start designing my own embroidery.
The pattern is filled out with many Norwegian and European motifs.
This one was so fun to design and work!
It is done on 36 ct Vintage Maple Sugar linen from Lakeside Linen
and Vickie Clayton's hand dyed silks.
Although I will continue to sell the knitting patterns on this site
please purchase the embroidery patterns from "Ink Circles"
