In the Quiet Hours Hand Embroidery

Learn from my impatience. Write down the color numbers. And even an illustration of your stitch order. Future you will be so happy! 🥳 The completed side of the butterfly is from over a year ago. And now I want to finish it. But first I have to waste time searching for the original shades used.🙄

I’m staying with my cousin & her husband who has recent Hungarian ancestry. They gifted me this beautiful piece that came from his Grandmother. I have found to be called Kalocsa Embroidery. This seems to be the combination of the Matyó style rose motif and the needle lace. I’ve only seen the cutwork needle lace described as Richleau. That Turkish red was the most prevalent in the 19th century and then as more colorfast threads were available, the other bright colors arrived. And the lace techniques most definitely came from European origins. I am SO thankful to have this as a part of my collection!!

The greatest reward in my teaching this year has been one-on-one lessons. Watching someone become incrementally become more confident with stitch choice and technique is just so great! And usually they are working on a project that holds so much meaning to them and/or their family & friends. It is truly a process I am thankful to play a part of. My schedule is flexible (hand embroidery is my job!), rates are reasonable, and skill & memories created are wonderful! Email me if you’re interested in exploring one-on-one needlework instruction.

This gal has not seen the love she deserves. My design brain is slowly returning, and playing with these motifs is just the right amount of nostalgia.
