Crewel work--- Nicola Hulme
Nicola is no stranger to some of our members and fairly recently run a workshop on tassel making.
We quickly learned the definition of crewel work and were given to choice of two sample to work.
Nicola advised the left hand one for we beginners and the right hand one for the more ambitious.
Nicola had transferred the pattern on to the Linen fabric using Frixion pens and she explained about them to the uninitiated.
This board had some other examples of crewel work done by Nicola
Our first task was to select the colours for our work and that was a joy faced with such a rainbow of options. Nicola advised on tone and variation.
As a real beginner to crewel work I was grateful for the step by step tuition we were given.
All instructions and demonstrations were helpful and instructive.
By the end of the day we had all been guided through the stitches needed to complete our projects and all went home with a work in progress.
A really enjoyable day!!
