Mountmellick embroidery is a style of floral whitework embroidery from Ireland. It uses white thread on white fabric and a range of knotted and padded stitches to create rich and sumptuous embroidery. The knitted fringe is a traditional edging.
We will be creating a small doily featuring honeysuckle. All stitches will be taught in class, and a demonstration of the traditional knitted fringe will be given.
This class is suitable even for people who have never tried embroidery before - all skill levels are welcome!
The embroidery stitches will be learned and the doily embroidery started in class. Knitting will be done in your own time following the class.
