A very popular Hardanger filling stitch is the Greek cross, sometimes also known as the Maltese cross. This is beloved by many because there are so many things you can do with it; so many lovely variations! We will explore some of the other variations later in this series.
We’re part way through a series exploring the stitches that are featured in my forthcoming book, Hardanger Filling Stitches. If this is the first post you’ve seen in the series, have a look for the others.
Hardanger Filling Stitches by Yvette Stanton, will be arriving in Australia in December 2023, New Zealand shortly after that, UK in February 2024, and the US in March. You can order it from your favourite needlework store, worldwide. If they don’t know where to get it from, you can ask them to contact me, and I will direct them accordingly.
Vetty Creations have supplies packs for the Hardanger Filling Stitch sampler featured in the book.
White Threads is the blog of Yvette Stanton, the author, designer, publisher behind Vetty Creations' quality needlework books and embroidery products.
This is a nice one, but my favorite part is the tiny little square in the middle!
