It\u2019s a rumpled mess. Can I turn it into a pillow?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve nearly finished my vintage, 1973 Erica Wilson embroidery kit. It\u2019s an amazing display of rusty- and mustard-colored wools in a wide range of stitches from French knots to satin stitch to the ever-so-cute bullion stitch, a great stand-in for wheat kernels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve only stitched a few small projects in the past, so I\u2019m nearly starting from scratch with embroidery but I\u2019m very taken with crewel embroidery. Perhaps I kept the tension too high on this as it\u2019s full of hills and valleys once off the frame. But maybe it\u2019ll smooth out after being blocked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I loved working on the flowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I can\u2019t be content with one little kit, so I gave myself a birthday present, a variety of Appleton crewel wool, some linen fabric, and a little package of needles. Aren\u2019t the colors lovely?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I purchased all these lovely supplies from Kristin Nicholas<\/a>, and I must say that everything was packed so nicely. I\u2019m already sketching some ideas for my first design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
