Description

Janine Pope is known for her deft, witty stitched figures, as featured in The Stitcher’s Journal Q4, and here she has combined her drawing skills and Danish heritage with a series of quirky and amusing drawings of the Nisser, characters from Danish and Scandinavian folklore who come to live in the house and help prepare for Christmas celebrations.

Two A4 sheets of Nisser and Christmas symbols can be used at size for embroidery, or enlarged for applique, offering numerous possibilities for combining two or three images to create charming scenes, such as those in Janine’s amazing Christmas Nisser quilt. They are also delightful embroidered in simple red outline stitch on white. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE IMAGE IS AN EXAMPLE OF JANINE’S WORK AND THE SHEET OF DRAWINGS IS NOT A PATTERN FOR THIS QUILT.

The A4 sheets, with background and instructions on one side, and drawings on the other, will offer you inspiration for Christmas quilting and embroidery projects galore.

If anyone is desperate to get going over the holiday, let me know once you have ordered, and I can email a PDF to you even if we are away from the office.
