After working the large lily flower, I have now turned my attention to the pair of leaves below the flower. Traditionally in Mountmellick embroidery, when leaves are in groups e.g. pairs, three, five, etc, the whole group is worked similarly, not each leaf worked differently. When I am designing, I like to have a good […] Just to recap, so far in the Mountmellick stitch along we have covered tracing the pattern, and getting inspiration for embroidering lily flowers. I suspect that yesterday’s post did not come through in the RSS feed (probably due to my little mistake last week!), so if you didn’t see it, my apologies, and please make […] I usually don’t plan out much of my stitch placement before I start a Mountmellick embroidery design. Sometimes I’ll have some of an idea of what I’d like to use, and maybe a vague idea of where, or perhaps a particular treatment for a specific motif, but much of the time I just figure it […] Welcome to the Mountmellick embroidery stitch along! Even if you have decided not to stitch along with us, I’m glad that you’re following along. I welcome all questions. Just because I understand my reasoning for doing certain things doesn’t mean that you do! So please ask questions and make comments. The first thing we need […] The other day we were listening to a choral work on the radio. As I listened, I tried to fathom how anyone could write such music (I cannot read music, though I very much enjoy singing). With all those voices coming in at different spots, singing different things, how could anyone conceive of that? In […] Sorry, this post has been removed. It wasn’t supposed to be here yet! Just be patient and it will be back in about a week. 🙂 Some time back, I wrote a post on the fact that I was considering putting some gold thread embroidery on a black beret that I had recently purchased. Now, given the fact that I have been busy beyond belief, getting ready for the Big Craft Show, I haven’t even touched it since. (I have thought […] I’ve have been so flat out getting everything ready for The Show that I haven’t had the chance to do anything but glance at the Mountmellick stitch along project when I walk past it. Therefore I don’t think we can count on it starting *right* at the beginning of July… I need to get the […] I mentioned in my previous post about my Hardanger bookmark that I had used a new finishing idea for it, that I’d thought up in a lucid moment. Rachel of Virtuosew Adventures asked if I would tell about the technique. Well, its nothing revolutionary, it was just something I hadn’t tried before! I had planned […] Here’s the finished Hardanger embroidery bookmark. This is a thank you gift for Gillian, giver of the beautiful Turkish scarf.I used a new type of finishing for it, that I thought up in a lucid moment the other day, and was pretty pleased with the result. I’m not entirely happy with the fact that the […] |
