Marjolein Bastin Translated to Embroidery Designs
Nature’s Poetry Captured in Needlework
Marjolein Bastin is internationally admired for her gentle, poetic illustrations inspired by the nature surrounding her home. The birds, flowers, plants and small animals she observes every day form the heart of her artwork. These themes translate beautifully into embroidery designs, making the collaboration between Marjolein Bastin and LanArte a long‑standing success.
LanArte proudly offers an extensive collection of high‑quality needlework kits based on her original illustrations, carefully transformed into detailed counted cross stitch patterns.
Soft Colors and Natural Harmony
One of Marjolein Bastin’s trademarks is her ability to combine the softest, most harmonious colors. These delicate tones perfectly match the flowers and birds she paints.
LanArte stays as close as possible to her original palette by selecting thread colors that mirror the hues in her artwork. The result is embroidery that feels authentic, warm and true to Marjolein’s artistic vision.
The Beloved Seasons Series
Among the most popular designs in the collection is the series of the seasons. Each season is represented by a charming counted cross stitch scene:
- Spring blossoms and nesting birds
- Summer gardens full of life
- Autumn leaves and woodland creatures
- Winter birds gathered in the snow
Beyond flowers, the collection features a wide variety of birds—bullfinches, tits, robins, finches and more. Everything that appears in Marjolein’s garden finds its way into the LanArte kits.
A Garden Full of Life
The collection also includes many garden animals that enrich her nature‑inspired world. Stitchers will find squirrels, rabbits, chicks, ducks and graceful butterflies. Each design captures the peaceful charm of outdoor life and brings it into your home through needle and thread.
A Special Highlight: My Winter Home
In 2018, a Marjolein Bastin design became the centerpiece of the LanArte Secret Stitch Along. The pattern My Winter Home was embraced by thousands of stitchers around the world. Its cozy winter atmosphere and detailed composition made it an instant favorite.
Today, this beloved design is available as a complete embroidery kit, ready to be stitched and cherished.
