Hi, I thought I would share an update of the embroidery one of our ladies called Helen is doing. She sews with a single strand of silk thread.
The design is one of her own drawings which she transfers on to silk material, she then outlines with silk thread and fills in the design. so far there is approx 18 months work in this one picture. I believe she was a member of the English Embroiders Guild. |

Elle Oh my goodness. Please tell her that not only is she very talented but I would think there are LOTS of stitches in that piece and each stitch is perfect!! She shouldn't be beating herself up because it's not done yet. Holy cow! (And you can tell her I said so :roll: :roll: :lol: ) |
The patience she must have. It is beautiful.

That is the most amazing needlework I have ever seen and I thought my mom was a PRO!!!
Do they have books on how to learn that type of needlework? I've never seen anything like it, so 3D before. |
That is absolutely beautiful. The flowers, bird etc all look so real!

Elle, I don't even know the the English guild is, I'm assuming a guild meeting in England? Either way, I've always wanted to learn more handwork. My mother was really good at those things. She would just look at something one time and make it...no pattern, no pics no nothing. She was very talented. She never taught me her art, but I started quilting before she died and I know she liked my work. That sure worked for me! But, I would love to be able to make something like that someday.
