Description

With Lenzuola, sampler a Punto antico (Sheets, Samplers in Punto Antico), I partially continue the theme of reticello in colour which was discussed in Volume 5, as illustrated by the detailed instructions – with diagrams, scans and photos – for the pink sampler, which abounds in reticello and punto antico elements. Requests from many of my embroidering friends for instructions on embroidering sheets led me to feature in this volume the sheets created by two of my students for the 2009 Italia Invita Forum, which had the theme “the bottom drawer”.

The album also shows an alphabet in Gobelin stitch.
For those who wish to embroider sheets, the book also contains instructions for bottom sheets, both fitted and flat. The grid on p. 16-17 can also be used to make a lampshade or for other projects (as my students did with the sheets).
