I’ve been having fun sketching Viking Rus embroidery designs from period sources. Their artwork, as I may have said before, is this amazing mix of Viking, Byzantine and Eastern. I’m still researching on the stitches they used, but I haven’t yet found enough to post anything.
Here’s a new design. It’s based on a sword hilt from 11th century Ukraine.
Between 2 days of homeschool co-op and one of my best friends getting married, it’s been a busy couple of days. I’m just posting a new Rus Viking embroidery design based off of an 11th/12th century piece of Rus embroidery. Documentation to the piece will come later. Enjoy!

I have created this blog to share my interest in all forms of stitching, quilting, sewing, knitting, medieval re-enactment and costume making - particularly my love of historical embroidery. I also love travelling,especially when it also involves any of my other interests.
