Close ups from my FIRST embroidery at the Royal School of Needlework! We had to embroider a GIANT stitch sampler that was designed by an embroiderer in the year above. Second pic shows my first attempt of long and short stitch.Happy times for me, it was the first time I had stitched on or heard of a slate frame and had to learn to stitch with two hands. Loved every minute. Appleton wools on a tie dye backing, no idea of the fabric could be sateen. 🤣🤣 . . . #stitchsampler #crewelembroidery #crewelwork #appletonwool #woolembroidery #royalschoolofneedlework #stitchersofinstagram #trellisstitch #LongAndShortStitch #laidcouching #herringbonestitch #chainstitch #needlepainting #threadpaintingartist #sampler #HeyThereMaker #embroidererylover #stemstitch #ricanoamano #woolstitch #woolembroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/COX9W_2Ln5K/?utm_medium=tumblr
