    …another sneak peek at my latest embroidery progress for the 14th century French pouch commission I am working at – enjoy! 😀 I am very pleased about the progress and I really like how it already looks like. …and I ask myself why I haven’t tried this technique before. 😉

    14th century French Pouch .1 – first embroidery

    2014/02/26

    Recently I was speaking about a pouch project with a customer who wanted to complete his 14th century kit with an embroidered pouch made by me. Well, while I was showing him pictures concerning period solutions for the pouch lacing he just fell in love with an extant 14th century French pouch I showed him… *lol* That was the end of the German Brick Stitch pouch project he had on mind before and the start for something new – my new 14th century French pouch commission – and best of all, I have to use a technique I have known for years now and already thought about to try but…

    Craft with Racaire – Needle-roll #1

    2014/02/19

    Before I “restarted” my new blog, I told a friend of mine that I have many possible projects I could start with for my new section “Craft with Racaire”. I told her that I could start with a German Brick Stitch needle-roll, a Klosterstich needle-book, a 12th century fillet, a Reliquary box with bead embroidery based on a rather rare 13th century Pearl Ciborium or based on a period extant piece, another pull-over dress/underdress with revisiting my last recent pattern, a tight fitted bliaut, a linen veil with a period bird pattern, the “We have Dragons” project, a pouch, a hood with daggings,… – just to name a few possibilities.…

    Medieval Embroidery – German Brick Stitch Pattern #1

    2014/02/17

    After all the hours which I spent working at German Brick Stitch chart(s) today and yesterday, I am happy to say that I just finished the German Brick Stitch Pattern #2 for my first “Craft with Racaire” project. But this is Pattern #2 and I haven’t re-uploaded Pattern #1 yet – therefore I decided to start with my German Brick Stitch Pattern #1. I am quite sure some of you will remember the pattern and/or my handout with the pattern chart, which you can see at the picture on the left side. I uploaded it to my blog and a download link for it can be found at the new…

    Medieval Embroidery – German Brick Stitch – helpful sources & embroidery for needle-roll #1

    2014/02/16

    As you already might have noticed, I really love medieval embroidery. …and I decided that after all this postings it is finally time for some embroidery done by me. German Brick Stitch seemed like a good technique to start with. Especially because this stitch looks very pretty on needle-rolls & pouches. As I already wrote in my posting “Embroidered patches for Racaires 12th century wedding dress project” I want to put together a small gift package. (look out for the PPS at the bottom of the posting about my wedding dress project) For this “thank you gift package” I will embroider at least one gift. I consider needle-rolls and needle-books to…

    Fantastic, beautiful work. I have a stamped scarf that always gets compliments. And I also just had a small commission completed. Great work with a reasonable turnaround time. I look forward to doing business in the future.

  • I purchased a printed scarf, and Racaire was able to help me with international shipping (via messenger). The item arrived quickly, exactly as promised, and beautifully wrapped. And as a bonus, Racaire is a lovely person. I recommend Racaire and hope to make future purchases soon!

Finally weekend and time for Dolce Vita to recharge the creative mind! 💕🤗💕...and time to try out a new place here in Ft. Walton, the Florida panhandle, while we are out: "Pink Coyote"I instantly feel so at home - cute inside with an outside sitting area, great cappuccino and lemon-olive cake...
