“Ladybird, Ladybird”

Stumpwork embroidery

The second piece from my workshops with Jo Pout learning stumpwork. There were a lot of stitches and techniques that were new to me in this one, including the raised stem band, bullion knot and wired wing cases. In each class, I followed her kit for the main elements, and then added text and small adaptations of my own.
