Finally A Finish!
Posted on | May 22, 2015 | 14 Comments
This one has been a long time coming. I think I have been working on this Jacobean embroidery for over two years. It was constantly being put aside for other priorities and only getting worked on in dribs and drabs.
I have finally managed to work on it for a month or so now and have finished the whole embroidery.
I will take it to be framed in a week or so, but sometimes it is easier to photograph without the glass.
Here are some more detailed pics.
Most of the threads are DMC. The pattern is from Daft Designs.
This is the centre.
And for those who are curious, the back does get very busy and messy, but it gives a good indication of the colours.
Finished size is about 25cm X 25cm.
It is so good to see this one finished. I think i will select some smaller projects for a while before jumping in to something like this again.
I hope you are planning a wonderful weekend.
Cheers, Karen

stunning xxxx
what a magnificent piece, so much work and it is all so beautiful.
Oh my! Oh my! Gorgeous!!!! You must be thrilled Karen to have stitched such a beautiful piece. Well worth the effort and time required. I actually think the back is pretty darn good. Gee I so enjoyed seeing it xx
Oh wow! What talent! You’ve got such tiny little stitches in some places, and the satin stitches cover the fabric so beautifully. You must have really enjoyed this work. You do have to show a photo once it’s framed, but I’m so happy that we get to see it in person.
Karen that is just exquisite…. very beautiful and will look wonderful framed… Congrats on a great finish…

This is gorgeous. You should be very proud of it!! My very first attempt at Crewel Embroidery was a Jacobean design. Unfortunately, I got rid of it many years ago….wish I still had it!!!
Oh wow, that’s spectacular! I see a big frame and some double matting and it will be beautiful art for your home.

Your hand stitching is just superb Karen! And the back is almost as beautiful as the front- that’s not what I call messy!
