A small runner made with many different remnants of silver thread. The stitch types are half cross stitch and contour stitch. The dots are made with leftovers of flora-cotton yarn and gold and are sprinkled in the middle of the embroidery. These are embroidered with full cross-stitches and stitches.
Embroidered on linen canvas (8 threads/cm).
Finished dimensions approx. 65 x 29 cm.
This can be used as a wall hanger or table runner. Finished dimensions approx. 132 x 19 cm. Made on linen canvas (7 threads/cm). Embroidered using cross stitches and contour stitches. A remnant of linen yarn is tied on like tassels. The fabric is divided so that there are areas for embroidery, and areas where all the crossthreads are pulled out.
I have transformed a large amount of yarn scraps of different quality into an embroidered work: four panels, and a small tablecloth.
The panels are called: “Flowers”, “Pharmacy”, “Wood” and “Serotonin”. The tablecloth is called “Fragments”.
Each of the four panels measures approx. 118 x 32 cm. They can be used separately as a table runner. The tablecloth measures approx. 66 x 47 cm.
It is all made on linen canvas (8 threads per cm.), and is embroidered with two threads in the needle. Contour stitches are used throughout.
First, I divided the yarn scraps into four equal piles, sorted by size. The colors were also sorted.
It was fun to come up with a theme for each panel, and to stick to the pile of yarn scraps that each panel had been assigned.
The tablecloth stands out more clearly in the colors. There is only one shade for each motif. The panels have had all possible shades mixed together, and of large and small scraps. Then the colors mix, almost like when you paint.
This table runner can be made with any DMC remains you have lying around. It is embroidered on linen canvas (8 threads/cm) with contour stitches.
Dimensions approx. 22 x 130 cm.
First, the canvas is divided into 2 x 12 fields with 3 threads as spaces.
Then, the threads are divided into yellow-green and blue-green shades.
Begin by making a random “path” using a golden thread. The path is made using contour stitches.
After this, the DMC remains are distributed in the 24 fields. Start with the yellow-green fields.
The runner is embroidered with contour stitches on 8 threaded linen canvas.
Three DMC threads are used in the needle. Small pieces of silver string are sprinkled throughout, and stapled with flora-cotton 136.
Approx. 12 yarn colors are used to form the stripes.
Finished dimensions: 130 x 29 cm.
