Drawn thread embroidery
January 30, 2009
I keep talking about my embroidery but never put many examples of my own work up. Problem is, my scanner is on the blink. But after a comment from Lorelei I have got my act together and started to scan them in on my husbands machine.
The first piece is a sampler I did to teach from. I just divided the piece of linen, which is A4 size, into squares and worked from Moyra Mc Niels book. For the teaching piece we made a needle book of one of the examples. (Below the sample I have place a key to the stitches.)
This is lovely work Carolyne - i started a sampler but it is very slow progression - other things get in the way.

Wow, what a stunning sampler. I love it! Beautiful. Came across your blog in a google search for 'drawn thread work'. Now I really want to start (re)exploring that technique. Was taught it many, many moons ago at school in Denmark.

An exquisite sampler. I would like to learn this embroidery too. Can you please give the full reference for Moyra McNiels book?
