Assisi style embroidery

Home

This page features information about, and samples of Assisi style embroidery.

The style of Assisi embroidery is also known as the "voided technique". The background is filled with stitching and the main design elements are left unstitched.

Below are a few motif patterns I created in the Assisi style. I am working on a sampler which includes twelve motifs, one for each month of the year. The entire sampler will be stitched in the Assisi or "voided" style.
