More Crewel Embroidery




Here is my latest hand stitched crewel work with my original sketch so you can see my starting point. I basted some soluble fabric onto the material, with my sketch traced on in washable fabric marker. It took flippin' ages to finish!

What are your plans with your green eyed goddess?

HI Winnie! I don't have any plans actually ! I think I'll keep doodling and embroidering and if I manage to build up a little collection later in the year I will frame them well and try and get them exhibited locally in Bedford.

The pattern is quite intricate. the flower detailing must have taken a lot of time.
Warmest regards,
