📷 My Marketfriday: embroidery in folk traditions

Today I will show you some photographs made in one of Ararat held in Krasnodar. There was a lot of interesting and diverse things, but I liked the original embroidery of our masters.

The art of embroidery has never stood still and is constantly evolving. So in the XIV-XVII centuries. embroidery decorated household items, clothing and all sorts of Souvenirs. Church vestments and clothing were embroidered with silver and gold threads, adding bright gems and pearls to them.

However I have the lesson the first time was a privilege only for wealthy ladies. However, starting from the XVIII century, embroidery began to be engaged in almost all segments of the population.

And today at the fairs you can find a lot of interesting things made of linen, cotton and various textiles. Towels, towels, pillowcases, tablecloths, all kinds of bags for herbs and gifts...

Such embroidery in Kuban is called a counting cross. It is believed that such needlework will bring the owner good luck and prosperity.

This is now many girls do not know how to make a simple smooth double-sided stitch, but they know how to make websites and are engaged in programming: -)

Although someone today willingly attends master classes.

Here is a rhombus and in the old days was considered one of the most common and popular motifs in embroidery. At the same time, each nation could portray it in completely different ways.

In some cultures, it was seen as a symbol of fertility. And if we talk about plant ornaments, then in Kuban the tree of life or the world tree is in demand.

Our craftswomen love to embroider and ribbons. They come up with patterns themselves, select colors, and make up the composition.


There are needlewomen who can weave lace napkins, collars and even shawls in an openwork style in just a few hours. You'll find it here and openwork, and lace, and interesting patterns.

  • Have a wonderful Friday everyone and if you have some interesting market-related photos, go ahead and submit them in the #MarketFriday tag and link to your article in the Express post by @dswigle.

And at the end, as always, there will be flowers.
