Embroidery Schola

I am teaching this Saturday 2/24/2018 at Athena Thimble's embroidery Schola at Camelot.  I am going to do Gold Work.  I will be showing several different Elizabethan braid stitches.  I love Elizabethan embroidery from the 1500-1600 period.  The gold braids and stitches they used made their pieces sparkle.  So I will share how to do these, and the materials to use.

 Teaching the braid work shown here.  The gold ring is the double ladder stitch.

I return

It's been a while since I have been blogging.  I honestly lost interest in posting my work here.  I created a Face Book page for myself - Lady Elaine Howys of Morningthorpe.  There you will find my most recent work.
I will start posting my current projects here.  I will also do periodic Retro Post on items I have made over the last five years, to bring this up to date.

Stay turned.
