In August 2001 I officially started
to publish my designs under the name Beardie Designs.
There are 2 main categories, one
being the Dutch Sampler Series, the other one being Accessories. Pictures of all
the designs can be seen at the different pages, mentioned on the
left.
For the Dutch samplers I research
what kind of motif and/or color is representative for a particular area or town
in the Netherlands.
For the accessories I still use
sampler motifs, but the emphasis is on making items you can use for your
stitching. Therefore finishing instructions are always included with these
charts.
Also quite often I use overdyed
threads and silk threads as they give your project a special touch. But for
those who want to use DMC threads a conversion is given on the charts, where
that is possible..
