Barefoot Shepherdess

I have a number of alerts set up that let me know whenever they find certain search terms appearing new across the internet. One of them is for Mountmellick embroidery. One turned up this morning, so I went to visit the blog that was talking about Mountmellick embroidery: Barefoot Shepherdess.

You’ll see in the comments section my thoughts on the style of embroidery that the Barefoot Shepherdess was taught as “Mountmellick embroidery”. I agree with her that it wasn’t quite Mountmellick! If you’re interested in learning more about what does make Mountmellick embroidery its own distinctive style, you can find more information at the Mountmellick page on my website, or in our book Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature.

Barefoot Shepherdess’s work (Mountmellick or not!) is very beautiful, and that’s why I have decided to link to her today. Its a lovely blog to explore, with some really attractive work that she’s made. Have fun with the inspiration she provides!
