Today’s post follows on from yesterday’s one about designing Mountmellick embroidery. When the line drawing is complete, it needs to be traced onto the fabric. Mountmellick embroidery uses white cotton satin jean fabric, which is a beautiful fabric with a soft sheen. The right side is the one with the satin surface. To trace the [...] If you were learning silk shading embroidery, one would assume that you would use silk thread to stitch with, right? If you went off to a class to learn this, and completely ignored the requirements list and brought a supply of crewel wool instead, do you think you would get the right effect? You [...] I’ve added a new product to the Vetty Creations website: maxiskeins of Mountmellick thread for Mountmellick embroidery. These skeins are equal to five of the regular skeins, meaning that you get a much larger sized skein. It seemed to me that some people would appreciate a larger skein, so here they are! The easiest [...] I received a lovely email from a customer the other day, who has been teaching herself how to do Mountmellick embroidery. I include some of if below. By the way, I haven’t sent a picture of the problem I was having with Palestrina stitch, but I did notice that the instructions in Inspirations magazine which [...] Because people have asked for it, I am putting together a supplies pack for Snow White, the Mountmellick project that is published in the latest issue of Inspirations magazine (#62). You’ll need to supply your own copy of the magazine, as that has the pattern and instructions. Included in the supplies pack are those listed [...] As I promised, here is a link to some images of Snow White, my Mountmellick project in Issue 62 of Inspirations. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there’s a better picture than the very difficult-to-see one at the top of the page. You can purchase all the Mountmellick embroidery supplies needed [...] Today I received my contributors’ copy of “Inspirations” No 62, from Country Bumpkin. It is, as always, full of absolutely gorgeous embroidery. I have a project in the magazine: “Snow White”, a Mountmellick embroidery tablecloth. I actually made this cloth some time ago, and when my friends at Inspirations called, asking if I could do [...] Happy St Patrick’s Day to you all! I have a little Irish blood within me, and I do love Mountmellick embroidery, which is of course Irish. I have decided this is a great day to celebrate all things Irish (particularly Mountmellick embroidery) and am therefore very pleased to announce that we now have our new [...] Sad news today. I finally have sold the last of the deliciously lovely Zweigart Satin Royal fabric. There is no more left, and I cannot get anymore due to Zweigart having discontinued it in all their wisdom. I have ordered a replacement fabric – which will be of similar quality, yet different – which I [...] I have the pleasure of announcing the release of two new Mountmellick embroidery kits: the Wildflower Cushion (below left) and the Dogrose and Blackberry Cushion (below right). These cushions have been designed to be used as a pair, but will also make a splash on any lounge or bed as a single cushion. They’d make [...] |
