This embroidery was created using a mix of various gold thread scraps and flora-cotton thread in color no. 507.
Finished dimensions: approximately 56 x 32 cm. Stitched on linen canvas (8 threads per cm) with techniques such as full and half cross-stitch, couched goldwork, and backstitch.
The process was a playful exploration of free imagination, without a set plan, and it was a joy to work with gold threads of many different qualities.
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.

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.
Size approx. 128 x 30 cm.
Embroidered on linen (8 threads/cm) with 3 partial threads in the needle.
Full cross stitches and back-stitches are used for the motifs. Contour stitches are used for the stripes in the background.
Use black thread to divide the fabric into 12 transverse fields. Mark where each motif should be placed.
Divide the yarn into cold and warm colors. The largest remainder is used for the motifs.
Embroider motifs from the center and out. This makes it easy to check that the pattern always fits.
For the background, distribute the warm colors in every other field. Then fill in the rest of the fields with the cold colors.
The pattern is free – enjoy!
