Tudor Rose Finish



Haven't found my battery charger yet, but I scanned my finished crewel piece for you.

I had fun stitching this. And will continue to pull those crewel pieces out of my stash. I didn't get the wrapped buttonhole exactly right. Didn't have enough room to do 10-12 wraps. But I made friends with the coral stitch so that's a plus.

Lovely! Brings me waaaaaaaaay back. Crewel was my first foray into needlearts. I know I'm too young for this to be true, but it was the 70s.

Holey Schmoley, but that's gorgeous! You're inspiring me to add more crewel to my line-up.

Do you know Wool & Hoop? The owner, Katherine, is swell and they have some really fun stuff!

This is gorgeous. I think I should learn how to do crewel work.
