Finished Elizabethan Strawberries

A little while back one of my students from the cruise in April sent me a photo of her finished Elizabethan Strawberries project. She’s done a marvellous job and gave me permission to share the photo with you. Congratulations Judy P!

This was a small class, aimed at experienced embroiderers, with very dedicated students. There was not a lot to learn in the class, but there was a lot to master. We covered stitches including plaited braid stitch (that’s the gold stem), reverse chain stitch, Elizabethan corded detached buttonhole, Elizabethan corded Brussels stitch and my favourite – spiral trellis stitch. I was really pleased with how the students went, because some of them were very difficult stitches!

If you’ve completed one of my projects, either from a class or from one of my books, I’d love to see photos. It’s always nice to celebrate successes!
