Wrens in the making

I started stitching Trish Burr’s ‘For the Love of Wrens’ design nearly two weeks ago and so far I have stitched the branch, the tails and the eyes and I can truly say it is the most challenging kit I have stitched so far. As I mentioned in my post about starting this kit, I…

Final delivery (for the moment 😉) 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
