BLUE ONION
BY: LINDSEY GRIFFIN
Widely recognized, blue onion patterns like the ones in this
collection were first seen on porcelain dishes way back in
1740 throughout China. However, the term “Blue Onion”
was coined by porcelain artists in Europe in the 1870s who
were inspired to create their own rendition of the famous
dishes. Just as artists are constantly inspired by others, we
have been inspired to release this collection. This collection
is an all embroidered tribute to the Blue Onion designs of
the past. To keep with tradition, we selected a few shades
of blue that complement the classic cobalt blue commonly
seen as part of these designs. We also decided to use a
white cotton background to mimic the white porcelain. The
beautifully digitized designs feature flowers, onions, swirls
and other blue-onion inspired shapes. These designs can be
used to embellish napkins or make a table runner for your
next dinner party. This 10-piece collection comes in 3 sizes
and is compatible with a 4” x 4” hoop or larger.
