GIULIA'S DESIGNS
A Canadian Journey
| |
 |
|
This design has a true story since it was inspired by my first journey to Canada in August 2005. My husband had worked as a medical doctor in Canada at the beginning of his career and wanted to see again this wonderful Country and to take us to Montreal and Quebec. We visited The Stewart Museum at the Fort on the Île Sainte-Hélène of Montreal, the wonderful Cathedral of Montreal, and other interesting places of the town. Then we took a tour to Chute Montmorency, a waterfall of 272 ft., higher than Niagara Falls, until we reached Quebec City, following the St. Lawrence River. During this wonderful journey I started to think that my necessaire would have been a remembrance of those days like the motto of Quebec "Je me souviens" which means, "I remember".

Assisi Peacock Sampler
| |
 |
|
This design has an old fashioned look and it is a tribute to various Italian stitches. The middle band, stitched in blue, is a floral band of Assisi work. Assisi work is characterized by stylized flowers and animals created by void spaces within a background worked in cross stitch. The peacock, worked with a medallion on the left top, signifies eternal life. Translated from the Italian, the verse reads "Old Stitches of Italian Embroidery." This piece also encloses many other typical Italian needlework stitches: bands of Holbein stitch, drawn work alternating knotted clusters and alternating knotted clusters, and Gigliuccio (lily) stitch, a typical drawn stitch of Florentine embroidery.
Suggested Retail: €/US$ 12.00
