Cross-stitch embroidery schemes: interesting ideas for interior design

Recently, the Internet has flooded all sorts of photos, comic books and videos "with seals." This is not surprising: many people like cats or at least like to be touched by fuzzy people from a distance. Even without a purring pet at home, you can admire the mustachioed faces every day, if you decorate home interior items with embroidered images of cats.

Pillows

Embroidered pillows are not only a perfect gift, but also an excellent decoration for the living room, bedroom or nursery. Famous designers have invented excellent cross-stitch patterns for cats, suitable for both large and small pillows. Variants are diverse: some needlewomen work directly with the fabric of the pillows and then fill it with sintepon, while others above all value the accuracy and purity and do not want to hand over the product for cleaning with each contamination. In the second case, the skilled workers transfer the scheme of embroidery by the cross of cats not to the material of the bedding itself, but to the pillowcases sewn or bought in the store. Embroidered underwear can be changed regularly - the pillow will remain clean.

Blankets

With the advent of innovative techniques of needlework, more traditional types of women's craft are gradually being forgotten. Nevertheless, it is not without reason that the saying says that everything new is a well-forgotten old: fashion patchwork - patchwork - slowly and surely returns to fashion.

Though more often for creation of cozy blankets, blankets and bedspreads in the technique of patchwork are taken usual scraps of unnecessary fabrics left after tailoring, modern masters do not fear difficulties and make improbable hand-made things from miniature embroidered cloths. Diagrams of cross-stitch embroidery are very popular, as developers offer whole collections of designs in one style. A great example is a collection of embroidered seals from Margaret Sherry. You can also use "bestial" alphabets (of course, you'll find variants of English letters much more than Russian ones) and the usual realistic figures of cats without background. From pieces of canvas with lovely drawings of embroidering threads create authentic masterpieces of patchwork.

Napkins

Small schemes of embroidery cross cats look great on napkins. If the design is very small, it can be transferred to a corner of the fabric or turned into an ornament to create an embroidered frame. In this vein, one-color, stylized heads of cats with long mustaches, added with a seam "back needle" look very interesting; Most often in this format appears a black cat.

Cross-stitch embroidery (schemes, by the way, can be easily found on any forum of needlewomen, in magazines and literature, you can use it and given in the article) will never go out of fashion. This is an easy and accessible occupation for every woman, which does not require special skills, great money and effort.
