A free download from Di van Niekerk

March 9, 2010 by Denise Felton 2 Comments

Here’s a sweet gift from Di van Niekerk of Crafts Unlimited. Di’s newsletter says:

To brighten up your day, we have a lovely free ribbon embroidery design for you to download for your collection. Painted by Rita Roscher, one of South Africa’s most gifted embroiderers, I hope that you will enjoy this lovely piece. See how the roof is made in long and short stitch, the flowers with simple ribbon stitch and the mountains and the sea in the background are embroidered with tiny straight stitches? By using the completed picture (included with your download) as a guide, you will soon see how easy the stitches are to make. Do give it a try as it is a beauty!

Get the picture.
