A Crewelwork Pheasant
Worked on pure linen twill with Appleton's crewel wools, this pheasant is part of a larger piece of work originally designed by Cathy for the Royal School of Needlework Certificate qualification.  The pheasant itself was inspired by the visiting pheasant to our garden! The embroidery itself measures c. 8" x 8" at the widest points and is worked in a 10" embroidery hoop. The embroidery features a very wide range of stitches including Vandyke, Cretan, Ermine, Pekinese, Long & Short, Fly Stitch, Feather Stitch, Buttonhole Stitch, Bullion Knots & Stem Stitch.

Suitability - Intermediate Plus
