Hardanger embroidery is traditionally stitched using white, or off-white thread that matches the background fabric. I have always enjoyed adding colour, especially using a variegated thread so that I can’t quite predict where each subtly different shade of thread will end up. This was the inspiration for this pincushion featuring a Hardanger heart motif. I combined it with favourite sampler motifs for a bold design.
