category: openwork filling pattern with Cable stitch grid linen used: 13.5/cm thread count threads used: coton à broder No. 30 for the Cable stitches and No. 20 for the Rose stitches stitches used: Rose stitches center: intersection of pairs of threads one pattern segment: 28 threads First, establish an openwork grid with an intersection of pairs of threads in the center by cutting 2, leaving 2 both vertically and horizontally. Stabilize the established grid with Single Faggot stitches worked from the back side of the fabric. Please remember that Single Faggot stitch worked on the back side will look like Cable stitch viewed from the front. Work a square of 2 X 2 Rose stitches around the center intersection – counterclockwise and starting on the bottom right. After completing the square of Rose stitches, bring the needle up in the square diagonal to the lower left corner. From there work a diagonal row of Rose stitches upward to the left. Turn the piece and work a second diagonal row parallel and with a distance of five empty squares between – counted in a straight line. Complete the first row, and work rows of Rose stitches perpendicular to the first and running directly along the corners of the center square. Crossing previously worked rows, slide the working thread on the back through the already established stitches. Work a second row beside and outward to the first. Do the same to all four rows. *Work two single rows with a distance of five empty squares between (counted in a straight line) to the right and to the left of one pair of the established rows. Please note: my sampler square will get an edge border of Satin stitches. Of course, this edge border should normally be worked first – before withdrawing the threads. In this way, the edge border can be worked much more easily, and the working threads of the Single Faggot stitches can be secured there. I was pressed for time when working the steps in preparation to share them with you, and in my haste I skipped this important step. The picture at the end of this article shows the sample with the border. It was very difficult to get the stitches to look nice and orderly! So, please do not follow my example, but take the time to stitch an edge border first. Start working a single row perpendicular to the just worked row, but this time include working squares of 2 X 2 Rose stitches into the established rhombus sections. Therefore bring the needle up in the square diagonal to the top left and work a square of 2 X 2 Rose stitches. On the way back to the Rose stitch row, slide the working thread through the already established stitches. Continue working the Rose stitch row including a square of 2 X 2 Rose stitches in every second rhombus section. Do the same on the opposite side. Work a second row of Rose stitches beside and outward to each of the four rows.* Continue working the same steps (*) until the entire shape is filled. This pattern is especially charming in wider motifs. This motif was embroidered by Sylvia Sellmaier. Thanks to her for allowing to show her work.

The Pomegranate Motif (2) The pomegranate was, and is also today, an interesting motif to be added to a Schwalm whitework border. In the article The Pomegranate Motif (1), I showed examples of old traditional embroideries. Here I show examples of contemporary Schwalm embroideries. Perhaps the examples will motivate you to create your own pomegranate.

The impressive sunflower is old and prevalent. So it is no wonder that it shows up as a popular motif in Schwalm whitework. (The sunflower motif should not be confused with one of the main Schwalm whitework motifs – the sun. The sun, also a circle motif, is commonly outlined with scallops or 2 short-2 long.) Sunflower fields are currently in full bloom; these inspired me to take a closer look at sunflowers in Schwalm whitework. The images I include here are arranged chronologically. The oldest traditional embroidery in my collection that includes a sunflower motif is from about 1770. It is early Schwalm whitework without any withdrawal of threads. Others date from the beginning of the 19th century. Embroideries from the 20th century and contemporary examples follow. The circle center of the sunflower motif can be filled with a variety of different patterns allowing for an incredible number of creative possibilities. The focus here is the arrangement of the petals. It is of particular interest because the embroiderers were also eminently creative in this point. From the very abstract design, which is identifiable as sunflower only upon second consideration, up to the nearly realistic rendering, many interpretations and nuances are found. This applies also to the sizes; there are some small, but also some very large examples. Please take a look for yourself!
