Grapes have a special meaning for me. My grandfather was a vintner in Transylvania, and the annual grape harvest was a family celebration. Perhaps it is not surprising that years later grapes found their way into one of my own designs. You can read more about this tradition in an earlier blog post here. Two new blog posts tell more of the story brought up to date with childhood memories and the story of my Grandfather's effect on grape growing in Transylvania.
From Australia to Europe and across the sea to the Americas, grapes have been grown for table and wine for centuries. They also appear throughout the decorative arts—in historic textiles and engravings, heraldic shields and national symbols. In GRAPE with LEAF BORDER, plump clusters of grapes form the center panel, bordered above and below by an undulating ribbon of vine leaves.
Worked in wool using the cross-point™ technique, the design combines the decorative quality of traditional needlepoint with the ease of counted cross stitch. The pillow makes a wonderful autumn accent, while the runner is especially appropriate for an autumn or holiday table.
Please Note: PayPal initially charges the Retail price. We issue the 20% Design of the Month discount as a refund directly through PayPal when your order is processed. We now use USPS Ground Advantage to keep shipping charges as low as possible.
Every order means a great deal to me. Your support helps keep The Cross-Point™ Collection going and tells me that this distinctive way of stitching continues to be valued.
With heartfelt thanks—and happy stitching!
