The lovely ceramic items from Laila Stenderup were not the only things I had to bring home from Det Smukkeste Marked on Skals Håndarbejdsskole - or Skals Højskole for design og håndarbejde as the school has been renamed last autumn.
Every year they make the most gorgeous embroidery kits for the exhibition - like this one which I made a long time ago.
This summer I picked a year linen napkin in white, with the number 11 to be embroidered on it. (Last year there was a number 10 napkin and next year a number 12).
And I also got a magnificent linen napkin kit with a cool measuring tape to be made on it.
Both kits have already had each of their the motifs transfered on to them, and the kits come with the necessary floss, a needle and of course a piece of paper, which tells you which stitches and colours to use.
I love to start on a kit like that - no preparations from my side at all. I just have to read the description and begin the embroidery...so easy and so convenient.
Glæder mig til at se det færdige resultat :)
ReplyDeleteMange tak, Heidi. :)) Jeg er altså helt vild med det målebånd. Ideérne er virkelig gode og mange på håndarbejdsskolen, og det er altid en fornøjelse at se deres arbejde. :))

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this too. Sadly it's only available from the market at Skals Håndarbejdsskole. :(
They make a new embroidery-kit every year and I'm always exited to see what they come up with. I have never not liked their stuff. :))
