On the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of May 2015, the town of Rosignano Monferrato in Piedmont, Italy, will host an interesting exhibition of needlework: Ricami diVini. Protagonists of the event will be, of course, the embroideries, but also the internationally renowned wines produced in these valleys, including Barbera, Grignolino, Cortese and Freisa.
The Monferrato hills, together with Langhe and Roero, have recently been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, for their typical tuff cellars (infernot) and vineyards. In this wonderful location, Ricami diVini will feature the works of famous Italian and French needlework designers.
We will be there too, and will present a new pattern designed for this occasion: “Sparrows and grapes“.
Here is a preview…
The chart will be available worldwide after the exhibit.

This brand-new pattern has been designed to perfectly match with our Warm Winter Collection:
It’s so simple and quick that you can easily complete it in a weekend!
Our model was stitched using Aurifil Lana wool threads on 11 count wool Aida fabric, to make a really cosy hot-water bottle cover, but if you prefer you can also use the common cotton floss and a higher count evenweave fabric.

(The motif would also look lovely on a Christmas card if stitched on a 28 or 32 count fabric)
Happy stitching!
