Canvaswork Embroidery RSN Certificate19 September 201819 September 2018

My RSN Certificate Canvaswork has been assessed

Last Thursday I received the results of the assessment of my Canvaswork which I had completed as part of the Royal School of Needlework Certificate course. I contrast to the Jacobean Crewelwork module, which I completed during term time, I completed this module during as a summer intensive course. I received 76 marks out of…

RSN Summer Intensive Certificate course in Canvaswork

It seems odd to write a single blog post about something so big as the Royal School of Needlework Summer Intensive certificate course in Canvaswork I have attended for the past two weeks. However, as it really was a single event I didn’t want to split my experiences into several shorter posts. I hope you…

Preparing for the RSN Certificate Summer Intensive course in Canvaswork

When I finished my Jacobean Crewelwork module in February, it felt like ages before the start of my next module but now it is only one week away! Even though it will be my 2nd module I am still quite scared about it all. Especially since I will be doing the Summer Intensive course, which…

A new year!

Happy New Year everyone! Following on from yesterday’s post looking back at the highlights of the Stitching Sheep’s first year, I thought it would be fitting to celebrate it’s anniversary today and look ahead at the things 2018 will hopefully have in store for the Stitching Sheep. I have actually started writing this post enjoying…

A different kind of stitching

It has been an odd last few days. Everything has been about embroidery but without actually doing any embroidery at all. It has been more about sewing, organising and planning. As I have mentioned in previous blog posts I have decided to do the Royal School of Needlecraft certificate in technical hand embroidery course. I…

Having a go at Canvaswork

I had picked up this kit from the RSN Shop when I was at Hampton Court last month. I was mainly attracted to it because of the geometric design and the colour scheme which is based on a picture of the Wool Rack at the RSN. This picture is used by the RSN on a…

Final delivery (for the moment πŸ˜‰) of embroidery goodies for my stumpwork project. These ones are from @goldenhindegoldwork. I used their translucent thread quite a lot in my applique project and it is brilliant to stitch with so I got a few more colours for this project. I also got some tiny sequins for Sir Guy’s clothes and some black felt for his padding. #embroidery
Lovely goodies arrived from @jennyadinchristie today 😍😍😍 Some fine silk gimp, metalic mesh ribbon and fettucini ribbon in the most perfect colours for my stumpwork project. As Jenny sells the best curved needles out there (in my opinion at least) I, of course, added a couple to my order as well as one of her beautiful purl cutting trays. #embroidery
Stitched down the fabric for the back hill today and the felt padding for the front hill. Hopefully the fabric I ordered for it will arrive tomorrow so I can stitch that down as well. If not, I can practice my finger and hand making. Next online C&D class booked for a week on Tuesday as got lots of questions about making my figures. Can’t wait to start stitching those and see how they will turn out! #rsndiploma
Some more beautiful thread-goodness arrived today, this time from @olivertwistsfibres 😍😍😍 So much variety and perfect colours for my project! #rsndiploma
Look at this wonderful selection of @artfiberendoky threads, which I bought from @masakonewtonembroidery 😍😍😍 I got three packs of textured threads as well as some chenille and linen threads. These are just perfect for my stumpwork project. I have actually visited the Art Fiber Endo shop in Kyoto when we were in Japan two years ago. I just wish I had anticipated the projects I would be making and all the threads I could use for it. So glad Masako has imported them to Europe, but when I go back to Japan, I will definitely pay them another visit. #rsndiploma
I have cut some felt templates of my figures so I could get a better feel of their dimensions and so I can work out a padding plan.
Made a start with my RSN diploma stumpwork project! So happy I finally got my stitching mojo back to make a proper start on it.
@borduurblad, a dutch embroidery magazine, has shared a picture of my @royalneedlework Certificate and Diploma pieces! 😊
My two London cushions side by side (kits by @hannahbassneedlepoint) 😍😍😍 #needlepoint
