Schwalm Tulips in a Row
Schwalm Tulips in a Row
Member Cost $140.00
This delightful tulip garden introduces you to Schwalm White work. Three tulips are in a row in between needle woven rows. Schwalm white work originated in a small area of central Germany.
This embroidery is on white 32 count linen and uses Coton a broder threads. Schwalm white work dates back to the late 18th to 19th century and was traditionally embroidered on pillowcases, napery, sheets, aprons, cuffs and clothes. It incorporates surface stitches, pulled thread work, and drawn thread work.
“The tulip garden” could be used as a table centre, cushion or a small bag.

Deborah began her embroidery steps as a Queensland schoolgirl. Her Grade 6 teacher, Miss Peacock, taught a sampler of stitches within the Clermont State School’s curriculum. After many stamped doilies, rosebud booties and embroidered handkerchiefs so typical of the late 1960s, she did little embroidery until moving to Canberra in 1991 and discovered Paddy Hornsby’s Affinity Plus embroidery shop, with talented embroiderers like Dianna Lampe and Kaye Pike. Moving to Perth in 1992, she joined The Embroiderers’ Guild of Western Australia, Claremont branch and started teaching floral embroidery while still exploring many other forms of embroidery. After moving back to Brisbane in 1993 and joining The Embroiderers’ Guild, Queensland, she undertook the 2-year Introduction to Embroidery course. Whitework embroidery in its many forms became the technique of choice. Deborah has travelled extensively to visit the ‘heartland’ of many types of embroidery techniques.
