March Stitch Club - Jacobean Crewel Work with Kate Steane 2019

Those new to the crewel tradition worked a variety of stitches in a feather shape, following in the footsteps of Anne Michel Goodall who used the Jacobean feather as a beginning point many years earlier in stitch clubs. The others continued on projects already started.

Crewel work with Kate Steane 16th March 2019

This Jacobean style embroidery can be very decorative with huge leaves, fruit and flowers dwarfing deer and other animals; birds look good among the leaves. I tend to use calico with cotton embroidery threads, but traditionally the images were worked in fine wool thread. I don't like using a hoop, but many do - so bring one if you prefer.

It is great if you have a design you want to follow; or if you would prefer to explore the stitches used in this work you could fill in a Jacobean feather, a different stitch for each segment. I will have the feather design available to transfer onto the calico.

You will need a piece of calico (available from the Fabric Corner) the size of your design or just larger than A5 for the feather; I will have a limited amount for sale. You will need cotton embroidery threads in the colours you want to use (I will have some for use on the day) and crewel work needles (sharp point and broad eye; available from most outlets selling fabric). Sadly Anne Roberts is unable to tutor the class, so Kate Steane is stepping in.
