Fantasy is the name of this small napkin pattern, measuring approx. 20 x 20 cm. It is embroidered on linen fabric with 8 threads per cm, using flora-cotton no. 341 (black) with 2 strands in the needle. The stitches used are cross stitch and backstitch.
Fantasy is also the theme in my small brooches, which measure approx. 4 x 6 cm. They are not simply flat pieces of fabric, but are shaped to create a more sculptural expression.
I can no longer see well enough to make such small pieces, so I have moved to a larger format and work on pieces measuring approx. 18 x 24 cm.
They are small sculptures that can be used as decoration on a table or wall. I use full strands of DMC thread, metallic thread, and various types of yarn on coarse canvas fabric.
I use leftover fabric and yarn, which are bent and shaped to create a sculptural form. The work is finished by pulling threads on the back so the embroidery keeps its shape.

I’ve designed the patterns so they can be combined as shown in the example, but it’s entirely up to you how you arrange them. You might repeat a pattern all the way around, or mix them for a more free-form look.
The table runner can also be adjusted in size—longer, or square if you prefer.
Tip: Play with the patterns, create your own design, and most importantly—have fun stitching!
