Finished: Erica Wilson Crewel Embroidery Owl Family

1 Comment
This is before blocking. Even the small wrinkles evened out afterwards.

It took a month and who knows how many hours, but I finished this 1978 owl family embroidery designed by Erica Wilson. It’s huge, 24”x20”. I persevered with this highly repetitive project, but I doubt it’ll be hung anywhere. It’s cute and quirky, but did I mention it’s huge?

I love crewel embroidery, and I’m going to be brave and start my own design.

All the loops. The babies look more like Guinea pigs at this stage.

  1. Wow! I just ordered the kit and also didn’t realize the size! Yours looks wonderful! I hope I’ll have the patience to complete this. I love Erica Wilson’s animals and birds and have done several. I’m so glad that the stamped blue drawing is so detailed.
    This one will take weeks for sure. I especially love the eyes.
    Thanks for sharing your progress through. It will encourage me to achieve the end result.
