Refined and elaborate, Christelle’s style is full of subtlety. She creates a new design by little strokes, as a painter would, creating a kind of patchwork, adding to her patterns little accessories which become part of the final design. The countryside and what she calls “Petits plaisirs de la vie” (the small pleasures of life) inspire her a lot. Christelle likes to stitch on very fine fabric (up to 55 count per inch for some vintage linen!) but all her patterns can easily be stitched on 32 count or less.
