I sublimate my rage… revisited

9 Comments

In january i finished a cross stitch based on a qoute I found at bitterstitch.com, but never felt completely happy with it. Now I’ve finished a new version of the same quote, and I like it so much better! I love the colour combination and this version feels much more balanced than the first one.

The finished size is about 35 x 40 cm and both the font and the edging comes from Antique pattern library.

    Really great ! I would never have chosen this thread colour, but I admit it definitly does it !

    Tank you!

    I haven’t decided exactly what to do with it yet, but I think I’ll simply hang it on the wall in some way.

    I think I got the parts of it from one or a couple of the scanned books at http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org

    But I’m afraid I don’t remember which ones I found it in, I tried to find them again but to no success. :/

    Something about the combo of colours & font & intricate detail captures the quote perfectly – as though each stitch really has been fuelled by harnessed anger – well done

    Man, I really, really want to use this border for something, I\’m almost tempted to try and count it and re-create it just from these pictures!

    Ha, I found it! It’s on page 33 of this PDF:

    A. Crespel DAe. Le Filet Brodé. Lille, France, [c.1900]

    (You can do control + F and type in “Crespel” and easily find the file in the whole list.)

    Hey is there any chance you’d be willing to share the pattern for this? I’m willing to pay for it.
