Kingfishers in the Bulrushes
Worked on pure linen twill in a range of Appleton's 2-ply crewel wools, this design by Cathy introduces a wide variety of crewel stitches including raised fishbone stitch, spiders web, long and short, fly stitch and bullion knots. The design itself measures approximately 13" x 9" (frame not included). It has been worked on a slate frame on linen twill measuring 20" x 16".
