Mountmellick Embroidery takes its name from the Irish Midlands town of Mountmellick, Co Laois where it evolved and was developed in the mid-19th Century. The simple requirements for the embroidery were readily available, these being cotton satin ‘jean’ fabric and matt cotton thread, all in white, and there was a need in the area for…

Eyelash stitches are Blanket stitches spaced further apart – the loops lie a little bit closer than the “legs.” In the past, it was quite common for Schwalm whitework embroiderers to outline shapes with Eyelash stitches or to work Eyelash stitches as a decorative element. Also many examples of early Schwalm whitework document the use of these stitches. As time passed, Eyelash stitches were worked less often. In embroideries of the last decades they are scarcely seen – that´s a pity because Eyelash stitches are decorative and effective. I have shown on my blog the use of Eyelash stitches on embroideries. The border from 1804 has some shapes that were outlined with Eyelash stitches. And one shape of the traditional Schwalm bodice A is partly outlined with Eyelash stitches. Eyelash stitches – embroidered with heavier thread and worked more densely – outline the heart shape of a sleeve cuff border. Very short Eyelash stitches are found on a delicate example of early Schwalm whitework from about 1780. Here they outline petals and are also used to make tendrils. Short Eyelash stitches also outline the Satin stitch petals of a gorgeous contemporary table runner, which was embroidered using traditional patterns in the style of the early Schwalm whitework. Some longer Eyelash stitches decorate a line of design No. 1 of my 2017 Advent calendar They can be seen on other parts of the Advent Calendar. as well – here Eyelash stitches outline Blanket stitch eyelets. If, like here, Blanket stitches meet with the loops of the Eyelash stitch, a raised double line is established making the pattern especially effective. I found a very singular variation of Eyelash stitches on a very old embroidery. On this piece all shapes were outlined with long, closely worked and slanting Eyelash stitches. Eyelash stitches are suitable for many uses, and they establish a decorative effect.
One of the most useful ways of learning how to work with texture is to reduce your available colour palette. And if you want to really learn something go with just a single colour.
Reference has already been made in passing to the texture given by stitching, and to the variation in colour produced by it according to the direction of the stitch. In white embroidery upon white the...

The Schwalm whitework is worked on densely woven (high thread count even-weave) linen. The pattern areas are filled with counted-thread embroidery and bound by other, non-counted embroidery stitches. The embroidery is worked in a variety of specific techniques and combinations: surface, drawn and cut work. Many different large motifs of simple figures (tulip, heart, circle and bird) are always outlined with Coral Knots, Chain stitches and sometimes additional ornamental stitches. The motifs are then filled in with a wide variety of drawn thread stitches. Open areas between the large motifs are filled with tendrils usually stitched in Coral Knots, small leaves and sometimes also small flowers are worked in Satin stitches or Blanket stitches. Edges are decorated by various hems; Four-Sided Stitch Hem, Peahole Hem and Needleweaving Hem are of the utmost importance. Needle Lace is used to fill areas of circles as well as for decorating edges. Also the
Cheating at hand embroidery - how to give the impression of hand embroidery, without really hand embroidering, and yet still call it hand embroidery. In a sense, this is what the once-popular "coronation cord" does. There are certain types of stitchery that could be considered, in a way, "cheate
