Kashubian embroidery is inspired by the beauty of nature. The main patterns imitate natural motives: bell-flowers, myosotes, lilies, gillyflowers, daisies, roses, cornflowers, pansies and clovers. Originally the embroidery was used for old folk costumes, then later it was used to decorate different forms, such as table-cloths and doilies. Traditional Kashubian embroidery is famous for its wide range of motifs that historically are designed in seven colors. Each color has a special meaning and reflects a specific attribute of the Kashubian land: Three shades of blue are the representatives of the sea, lakes and sky, green color is for the woods and meadows that are found everywhere in Kashuby, yellow is the sun, red- the love that the Kashubian people have for their home land. And finally, black means Kashubian's hard work. The designs are of various difficulty levels and the images are printed on the fronts of pages only, so you don't need to worry about bleed-through if you choose to use markers and you can tear it from the notebook and have it framed!
