Needlework Monday -A few embroidery projects

in needleworkmondey •  7 years ago  (edited)

I'm glad to find people here who are interested in the needle work . My hobby is working with a needle or needlepointing ( embroidery). But I use mostly already made schemes ( charts) of famous companies such as Viehler gobelins, L & L Mirabilia, Passion Ricamo, Lanarte ...
But my mother liked crocheting and my aunt loves kniting, and watching they works I learned the basics of crocheting and kniting.

For my first needleworkmonday

I started with a famous embroidery firm Wiehler gobelin.
It is landskape, watermill, pictures of a famous painter Francois Bouicher.
Picture approx 72X55 cm, 34 colours ( 9 stitchis on 1cm

my products

for this embroidery use only Wiehler kits.

You can see the technique of embroidery in the following pictures.

petit-point stitch

When i married, i was lucky that my husband liked gobelins and he wanted to have everything, evry single chart of them. And he started to collect different charts. He searched for advertisement about gobelins, personally contacting advertisers and buying charts one by one...And now, we have more than 400 different charts.

This is a gallery of my completed projects:

Great collection of finished projects. I like needlework and I am also interested to be in connection with people who like embroidery, cross stitch...

I'm glad to find people here who are interested in the needle work embroidery. If i can help you , just ask me.

Wow, @itaka! It looks like you have been doing this kind of work for a very long time. What an amazing collection of works that you have here. You are incredibly talented at this! happy #NeedlworkMonday to you!

Yes, this tip of embroidery requires a lot of time ... But for me it's a hobby and I work slowly when I can and how much I can. I started working as a little girl of 5 years and now are years behind me

It is amazing the skills we build up over a lifetime. You are very talented and paitent

What a lovely collection. You have amazing patience for stitching!

Thx. Yes, it takes a lot of patience and time to end. Sometimes they pass years for one patern.

Как замечательно вы вышиваете! Красота ..

спасибо за приятные пожелания

Really nice embroidery work you have here @itaka! I can imagine the patience and time it takes to complete one of these. Is this a stress reliever for you? I know when I crochet it relieves a lot of stress and is so relaxing. I really love the puppy pictures.

Welcome to #NeedleworkMonday and I am so glad you found us! Yes this really is a creative and talented community who all love to share their work while supporting others. Thank you for sharing with us today, it’s good to have you :)

thanks for the good wishes. Sometimes I need years to finish the goblen, but I'm always happy when I see my patern.

You’re absolutely welcome ~ 😊

What a nice collection. Do you display them?

thank you. I have never made an exhibition of my works, but many women in my country make this kind of embroidery.

works are beautiful !!!! What are you currently working on?

this is a gobelin hardanger and it has 22 holes per inch

I hope you show it to us when you're done.

Of course, but it will take more than a year. Usually I am embroidering only on winter, and when is shine, than I am in the garden .
