Heirloom Fabric


The January embroidery club project and designs are up and ready for download, click here to get to the download page. The heirloom stitching on this lovely sachet is completed right in the hoop. It includes several delicate heirloom techniques, such as cutwork, lace insertion, candlewicking and hemstitching.

There are two different patterns – I know, they look similar. But, one has lace insertion down the center and the other has faggoting down the center. I was toying with the idea of stitching several repeats of the designs to make a whole strip of heirloom fabric; you know for a pillow or a camisole or something like that. Well needless to say I didn’t get to it. Too many other ideas to work on. If anybody is inspired and makes some, please send me a picture.
