Description
In Estonian only!
Book mainly contains embroidery patterns, so no Estonian speaking needed.
The admirable Muhu embroidery is known all over Estonia. It has three generations of embroiderers and a hundred years of history behind it. The series “Meite Muhu meistrite mustrid” is a tribute to the pattern creators of Muhu and also gives a vivid picture of the diversity of Muhu embroidery.
This pattern book contains the colorful and imaginative embroidery creations of Julia Randmetsa (later Keinast), aka Mihkli-Jaagu Juula. Her embroidered quilts date to the period of 1913-1924. Her earlier work consists of geometric fantasy flowers, while her later quilts have more pastel and lush bouquets and birds. Most of the quilts are embroidered on a very cheerful orange background.
In order to better introduce the color selection and embroidery stitches of that time, in addition to the patterns, this booklet contains 10 pages of color photos of old items embroidered by Juula.
Children, and why not adults, can color the book for fun.
