    More Klosterstich embroidery for needle books – sneak peek .4

    2014/07/31

    …and after all the small patches for my new needle books showing flowers done in Klosterstich technique, I again have a 14th century inspired fleur-de-lis Klosterstich embroidery for you. With all this small embroidered patches lying before me, I really think that I should go on and transform them into some nice needle books now. They will be a beautiful addition for my “Travel & Largesse Fund”. My pile of U.F.O.s* is already big enough and doesn’t need any further addition. Therefore – where are my leftover wool fabrics, threads and needles?! *lol* 😉 But first things first – here a picture of my most recent fleur-de-lis in Klosterstich embroidery for you and some additional progress pictures – enjoy! 😀

    More German Brick Stitch embroidery – Needle Roll 2 & 3 finished :D

    2014/04/27

    You maybe remember my first “Craft with Racaire” project #1. The needle roll tutorial with German Brick Stitch embroidery which I recently posted. I was very pleased with my new German Brick Stitch pattern and the finished embroidery for the first needle roll. Furthermore I also tremendously enjoyed working with the beautiful new silk/wool thread I just got from the yarn shop. Like always, this are more then enough great reasons for me to became playful and creative. This time I decided to play around with my German Brick Stitch pattern #2 and to try out two new pattern ideas I had on my mind. The German Brick Stitch pattern #2 is already a simplified version of my German Brick Stitch pattern #1 and both new…

    2014/04/23

    Btw. do you remember the postings about the small embroidered 14th century pouch? …the small pouch I made for my 9th blog-birthday raffle which was inspired by an extant 14th century French pouch… Well, I am very glad to say that the pouch arrived save in the hands of its new owner – Jennifer in Dallas, Texas. …and she likes it! *happydance* I was so excited that I nearly forgot to tell you. 😀 All my projects are more then just projects therefore I tend to call them my “babies”. Every time I send one of my “babies” per mail on its way, the uncertainty if the package arrives or not is the most painful…

    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.

  • positive review  I'm blown away by the block printing on the scarf I received. The colors are vibrant, the fabric is soft, and the pattern matching is perfection. Racaire was quick to respond, and updated me along the way. My scarf was packaged beautifully, and I felt like I was opening a present. 100% will order again. ❤

    I’ve admired Racaire’s work for months and recently had a chance to purchase one of her scarves. So delighted with my purchase! The phoenix print on the scarf is so crisp and such a lovely, unique design. The fabric is soft and just the right color to complement the design. Shipping was swift, communication was excellent, and I just really enjoy wearing something that has so much creativity poured into it. I look forward to shopping from Racaire’s Workshop again!

    Ive bought two items from her workshop(hood and custom bag). Both were beautiful and high quality. I received so many compliments during Gulf Wars about my hood. The quality of her work is almost unmatched and is super easy to work with. I came with a jumbled idea for my bag and she worked wonders. Will definitely be buying again!
