Hello, recently I became more and more involved into exchanges, so I thought it might be a good idea to post some of my likes and dislikes.
I like:
- linen and evenweave
- hand dyed threads and fabrics (I love tea- and coffee stained fabrics)
- all earthy colurs, all primitive and "old" colors, brown, grey, mustard yellow, rusty orange, olive green, brick red
- all kind of samplers, especially reproduction samplers
- primitive designs (very much)
- French designs (I like)
- Sajou
- bees (very much)
- sheep (sometimes)
- butterflies
- Christmas (as long it isn't any cute or kitschy)
I dislike:
- aida
- bright colors and pastel colors
- back stitches and french knots (I really hate them)
- religious themes
- angels
- cute things and comic style
- Halloween (except pumpkins and some of the Prairie Schooler designs)
- Fairies (except the Nimuë designs, those I like)
Some of my favourite designers:
- Black Bird Designs
- Carriage House Gardenings
- Elizabeth's Garden
- Homespun Elegance
- La-D-Da
- Moira Blackburn
- Prairie Schooler
- Primitive Betty
- Renato Parolin
- Shakespear's Peddler
- The Little Stitcher
- The Primitive Hare
- The Sampler Girl
- The Scarlett House
- The Workbasket
- there are a lot more designers I like, but those are the first that pop up my mind and of course I am always open to learn about designers I don't know yet.
