This Blackwork design is based on Schwalm designs that originated in Germany and are named after the river Schwalm and its surrounding area. I have used the traditional Schwalm design symbols, but instead of filling the design areas with cut and pulled stitches I have used Blackwork Filling stitches. 

The Buttonhole Scallops stitched around some of the design symbols are a Schwalm aspect also. Originally Schwalm designs could be found as early as the 17th century. If you are interested in the traditional and contemporary aspects to the actual Schwalm embroidery I have written a book on the subject. 

Design Size: 24cm x 16cm (9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches).  
Fabric: #28 even weave or 14# Aida

The design I have used in this book depicts the Schwalm 'Tree of Life', with life growing out of the mother earth. Love multiplying; the sun shining down on you; the flowers of nature and the dove of peace. Originally the dove was a crow, but over the centuries this has been modelled into a dove.

All instructions include metric and imperial measurements.
Fabric and stranded cottons internationally available.
Detailed step by step written instructions.
 Stitch Glossary with diagrams.
Suitable for all levels of embroiderers.

2 extra Schwalm/Blackwork designs are included besides the main designs above. A total of 3 designs included. All prices are in New Zealand dollars. See the exchange rate here
