Di van Niekerk


Di VAN NIEKERK is an internationally acclaimed crafts woman and has written four books and is in the process of her fifth book which will be a tribute to the watercolour embroidery of the "Windows and Doors" and "Miniature Cottage Designs".
Di, has introduced a new innovative range of original embroidery designs which have been hand painted by watercolour artist Serena Shaw, especially for embroidery.
The painting are printed onto 100% washable cotton fabric, and each design kit can be purchased with step-by-step instructions and suggested ribbons, threads and conversion table, and needle.
Absolute minute attention to details ensure that the embroiderer, from beginner, to the more accomplished, need only use the most simple stitches to enhance the designs.
Ranges are:

  • Windows and Doors
  • Miniature Cottages
  • Four Ethnic Scenes
  • Woodland Folk
  • Pucketty Farm Animal Cross-stitch Designs.
    Workshops with Di can be arranged.
