My latest craft endeavour - Pyrography Christmas Decorations. Really enjoyed this and aim to do lots more.

I thought I'd try and do a Sunday verse each week so to start here is one of my favourite verses and the embroidery inspired by it.


Deuteronomy 33 v.27
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

The embroidery was done for the Isle of Wight Embroiderers 2013 exhibition, which had the theme "What Lies Beneath"

Stumpwork

Well, having finally got round to setting up my blog I'll start with my most recently completed piece. I've fancied having a go at stumpwork for some time so here is my first attempt. It comes from Jane Nicholas's book Stumpwork Embroidery.
I've really enjoyed learning new techniques. If I did it again I would do a couple of things differently but I am really pleased with the result.
