This design is based on a Stig Lindberg leaf design.
The outline of the leaves are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the leaf outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material.
You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.

The water was vaguely warm
The only sound, my own breathing
The little fish darted away and then back
looking at me.
The seaweed wobbled
just like my hair
Swimming in the lagoon:Samoa 2003. This is a really strong image that I took away with me – I would have had on a snorkle, but that is not such a pretty thing to embroider!
If I ever need a place to go in my head – where everything stands still, and all the noises stop, and there is no weight or pressure, then I use this.

A holiday trip to Samoa was very inspiring.
I loved the brilliant tropical colours and foliage, and the intense turquoise coloured sea.

This design has a sense of unfurling. She is about to flower – an opening up (to possibilities?)
Maybe it is all about Spring, or maybe it’s more of a maturing thing – not that anyone would know!!

I like the exuberance of Hungarian Embroidery, and how many variations you can get from some simple shapes.
The stitches used are running stitch, chain stitch, split stitch, French knots, couching, eyelets and fly stitch.
The outlines of the leaves, stems, flowers and pomegranates are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material.
You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.
