Jacobean embroidery

I have finished a Jacobean embroidery, stitched in Chameleon threads on silk. I like using space-dyed threads, they give a such nice varied finish.

I always feel a great satisfaction when I get from this,

to this.

Design: from book by Via Laurie "Embroidery Techniques Using Space-Dyed Threads".

Threads: Chameleon hand dyed threads Perle No.8 and Stranded cotton.

Stitched on silk.



In fact I have enjoyed Jacobean embroidery so much, that I am starting another one.

It gives me a welcome break from the Scandianvian Christmas quilt.

I wish you all a very good week!
