Worked on pure linen twill with Appleton crewel wools, this design by Cathy was inspired by the tradition of Jacobean embroidery, and is based on a piece undertaken for the RSN Certificate qualification . The embroidery itself measures c. 7" x 7" and is worked in a 10" embroidery hoop. It is displayed here in a frame (not included). Suitable for anyone with some experience of stitching. It is not suitable for complete beginners. As a guide, you should already be able to work stem stitch and blanket/buttonhole stitch. The stitches in the embroidery include Vandyke, Cretan, Fly stitch, Pekinese, Ermine, Long & Short, Buttonhole and several others.
