Crewel work

On Wednesday mornings I go to a modern and traditional embroidery class at our local college.
During this term we have been working on crewel. It is not something I have particularly enjoyed doing but here is my completed piece.

I have used satin stitch, chain stitch, stem stitch, fly stitch, backstitch, french knots and seeding stitch.
I am going to make it up into a cushion after I have given it a good press.
Bye for now

The colors are fantastice and it looks so tropical. Lots of fun stitches too. It is a nice piece but not all forms of needleart are for everyone. Good for trying something new but what you love is back their waiting

Sounds like a fun class to take. You did a wonderful job.

That's going to look absolutely gorgeous as a cushion Midge.

Nice to be able to try out different techniques and stitches as well.
