Checkerberry Motif

The simplicity of this highly conventionalized design makes it very effective.

Gustav Stickley's Craftsman Workshops

Checkerberry Pillow

The 24" square pillow is made of Raw Linen. The "stems" are worked in satin and stem stitch and the "seeds" in French knots. For a quick project, the hand stencilled berries are outline embroidered. For a more involved project, they are filled with long and short satin stitch hand embroidery stitching. See detail images below.
