Regency Cushions
These
designs are inspired by J. Brooks, a 19th Century painter who illustrated
many novels of Jane Austen. Her books are getting increasingly popular,
many of them made into movies, and with them, they propagate the Romanticism
of the Regency period.
These
designs are fulfilled in the cross stitch technique. Simple crosses
are combined with more complicated stitches to create textured and at the
same time almost sketch-like images, beautiful and lively in their sharpness.
We advise you to adjust your machine to the lowest speed setting to prevent
tangles and messy stitches.
These designs can be used in a variety of ways, among them the
simple decoration of your walls, and, as we have ourselves done, cushions.
The embroideries contribute to a fresh, stylish atmosphere. They are best
combined with some other sharply textured and straight-patterned fabric.
The cushions create an attractive contrast with more radiant colors, and
fit right in with anything else.

As you can see, two of the designs, one of which can be found on sale
in our catalog, were embroidered in black, ... |
|
...and two in brown, à la sepia, to match the color of
the fabric. You can therefore feel free to experiment with colors. |
