Black Forest Folkies
CROSS STITCH PATTERN DESIGNED BY RIVERDRIFT HOUSE
In the designer's own words:
“The Folkies from the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in Germany give so much for a little sampler. From the famous Bollenhut hats with their fabulous red balls worn on special days with the traditional costume, to the cuckoo clocks and wood carvings, clock buildings, mountain forests, castles, animals and flowers, it was difficult to fit it all in. I managed to leave a space for a Black Forest gateau to complete.”
Creative Poppy says:
The Black Forest is a wild, wooded and mountainous region of South West Germany, with the French region of Alsace just opposite on the other side of the river Rhine. It is proud of its traditions and beautiful festive outfits worn at village festivals. The Bollenhut is a straw hat topped with red wool balls - worn by unmarried women - while a hat with black balls is used after the wedding.
