Norsk Fairytale was adapted from 17th century
Norwegian woven coverlets. It has a Queen and
King riding their horses in a field of flowers, under
the shadow of the castle... and of course they lived,
as you can guess,"Hapily Ever After".
Stitched on 36 ct Picture This Plus, Relic, linen
with gorgeous Gentle Arts Sampler threads.There
are hardanger style stars, but no cutting and very
large clear diagrams that make it easy to stitch.
The model is on its way to Baltimore for the TNNA
needlework show and will be in the "Ink Circles"
booth. Both this pattern and the following
"Project 99" will be for sale at the show and then
on the Ink Circle site as well as many fine
needlework shops all over the world.
Early 17th Century woven coverlet
"Project 99"
This fun project was stitched by Tracy (my
daughghter, the designer of "Ink Circles")
after she solicited favorite local brews
from stitchers.
Tracy wrote:
Last summer I asked my friends and followers
to tell me which brands of beers they liked.
I had enthusiasts from around the globe tell
me about their local breweries, spots they hit
on vacation, and tastiest drinks.
This design was stitched on appropriately
"Ale" linen by Picture This Plus. 32 ct. with
DMC threads. I find it amazing that with a
few well placed stitches the brews are
recognizable!
