Les cœurs fleuris
Hearts with
flowers
A heart with a flower growing out of it is a common
motif in European folk art. We can see it on a Swiss pattern for gloves or on
painted Swedish furniture, which was an inspiration for Yoko Saito in her book Scandinavian
quilts (here in my rendering). When Isabelle asked me to ‘embroider
something’ on her slippers, I thought that this would be a great motif for wool
embroidery! I added a sprinkle of
Léa Stansal and took a picture of the
finished work in the garden, à la Facile Cécile.
