All the way from Norway

 

We can't tell for sure if Santa really lives close to the Artic Pole, but we can assure you that these lovely gold designs surrounding his crew are from Norway, named after the moutaineous Hardanger area where this specific kind of Needlework was practiced. If you've never tried Hardanger before, here's a wonderful occasion to have a go, with a fun design and guided by Faby Reilly's excellent tutorials.

Robin in the Snow

Poinsettia and Holly - Assisi style

 

Brought to you by Faby Reilly, a new and unique take on the popular Christmas motifs rendered in the Assisi technique. Indeed they appear in white, where the fabric is left blank, while the background is cross stitched in deep red. Like Assisi designs of yore - dating back to Renaissance Italy -  the design includes numerous flourishes in Holbein stitch.
