Hardanger
Tips
History of
Hardanger
Hardanger
is a combination of a few types of stitches. Embroidery, satin
stitch, cable stitch, drawn work, cut work, white work, etc. and today is combined
with many other types of stitching like cross stitch, to produce
beautiful designs and pieces. Believe it or not, Hardanger is not
difficult to do. It can be a daunting task to take on your first
Hardanger piece. Start small, and work your way up. Hardanger is
basically just a few stitches combined to make a masterpiece. It is
very important to be precise when doing Hardanger embroidery. Count,
count, and count again to be sure you place your stitches correctly. If
you don't, your work can and will easily fall apart when you start
cutting. The back of your work should match the front as closely as
possible.

tips,
fabrics,
floss,
kits,
patterns, and supplies. Hardanger is my new passion. We
have added more of the Caron floss line to our store. The most
recent is
Soie
Cristale. It is 100% silk floss like the Waterlilies,
but they are solid colors rather than variegated. Great floss.
We intend to add the rest of the Caron line of floss to our store over
time.
New Nora Corbett patterns
Nora Corbett, of Mirabilia, has a few new patterns out in her Nora
Corbett line. These are generally smaller and simpler than her
Mirabilia line and they have a lot of beautiful colors.

What is Julie working on?
I have a new interest. Hardanger
Embroidery. It is a traditional Norwegian embroidery method.
It produces some beautiful results. I find it relaxing and
enjoyable. My great grandparents immigrated to Wisconsin from
Norway in the 1800's. I was really interested in learning
something from my Norwegian heritage. I added a
Hardanger
section to my website with patterns and kits. I am also
working on
Hardanger tips. I have found very little information on how to
do Hardanger out there on the web, and what I have found is not very
user friendly. I would hate to see such an incredible art die out
for lack of knowledge.
I have completed two different projects in
Hardanger and am always on the hunt for a new one. I just
entered one of my Hardanger projects in the county fair, along with a
couple of my cross stitch projects.
