When Helen Richman of The Bluebird Embroidery Company first shared the design of her new Crewel Work Chaffinch kit at the end of January 2018 I e-mailed Helen straight away as I just had to get one. Due to studying for the RSN certificate it has taken me until now to stitch it but I loved…

Last Monday I received the results of the assessment of my Jacobean Crewelwork which I had complete as part of the Royal School of Needlework Certificate course.

For the past few weeks, I have not really felt in a stitching mood. The week at the RSN had been really intense and I was quite scared to start stitching on my own. Moreover, I had a job-change on my mind; leaving a company I had worked in for 8 years and joining one…

What a week I have had! Five full days at the Royal School of Needlework, which were the first five days of my first certificate course module: Jacobean Crewelwork. Even though I had been to the RSN before I did feel quite nervous and lost on my first day but during the next few days…

Those of you who follow my social media accounts will have already seen the completed Jacobean Crewelwork project I started during a Royal School of Needlework day class.
