Although geometric by nature there is nothing to say that the kloster blocks in hardanger embroidery cannot be arranged to make a picture! This little hardanger owl is always a hit at the workshops I teach locally and is simple to stitch.

The diagrams and instructions will show you how to work the kloster blocks, doves eyes, needleweaving, eyelets, cable stitch, buttonholed eyes and fishbone stitch (for his beak).
