Some days I do miss the discipline of working towards the City and Guild qualification and other days I'm glad it's all over. This year I decided to do a leisure class in embroidery and I have been trying to brush up my hand embroidery skills. I thought you might like to see some of the samples, I've stitched so far.
Here's one with chain stitch, herringbone and a few french knots sprinkled in. The background fabric was dampened and then painted using the Koh-I-Noor palatte
I covered a curtain ring using buttonhole stitch, this would be nice added to any sewing piece or the starting point for a jewellery project.

In this sample I was trying out needle weaving.
This is my favourite sample, a stab stitch and french knot daisy.
Have a great week, Ali.
Beautiful stitching Ali, I really love that daisy, I'm imagining a whole bunch of them together!
