This morning, I thought it would be nice to slow down a bit and just look at some beautiful pieces of embroidery. To that end, I’m going to share with you some needle painting embroidery projects worked by Margaret Cobleigh. Margaret’s the gal who will be teaching needle painting class here on Needle ‘n Thread ...
Embroidery has been around forever — the earliest surviving pieces of this craft are Scythian, dated to between the 5th and 3rd centuries BCE. Virtually every culture has some form of it in their textile art history.
Amish Stumpwork: I’ve been wanting to learn this embroidery technique for some time now. Somehow there was no time, occasion or a convenient object to embroider so this idea stayed in my drawer. Then the best possible occasion came out of nowhere. I joined the proje…
Last weekend, I put the final stitches on my "Breath of Spring" embroidery project! It was such a fun and colorful project to work that now I'm sorry I finished it. Working a project that you really enjoy is like reading a good book - you want to get to the end to see the finish, but when you get th

Have you ever heard of plushwork embroidery? It is also called chenille work or Amish stumpwork. I had never heard of this technique before until I randomly came across a tutorial for it online - so I decided to try it out and share it with you! First, you should really check out this awesome tutorial. It includes step by step instructions with excellent photos and a handy pdf template to print the design! I printed the template, traced and cut out a flower using a cover of a plastic container (specifically from a yogurt container!). My first try was with Appleton wool on linen fabric. The technique is very easy to learn - if you know satin stitch you can do this! Done with the first layer. I repeated two more layers of the same wool. The next step is my favorite - cutting the layers! After I cut all the layers I removed the plastic template. Here is the finished plushwork flower! See how fluffy! It reminds me of turkey work. I think it could have used a couple more layers of wool to make it fluffier, especially in the center of the flower, but it was good practice. Next, I chose a bigger size flower, cut the template out of cardboard instead of plastic - it worked just as well - and I used DMC tapestry wool. Here it is with one layer of light blue and adding my second layer of dark blue. Added another layer of dark blue - for a total of three wool layers. Cut through the layers and remove the template... Notice the difference with the DMC tapestry wool? It is a thicker wool than the Appleton wool. I definitely like the end result with the thicker DMC wool. What do you think? Have you ever heard of plushwork? If you decide to give it a try, be sure to post your photos in the Feeling Stitchy Flickr Group or tag your photos on Instagram!
