I created this blog at the suggestion of one of my fellow Petitpointers, an online Yahoo group I belong to. I will show my full size and miniature stitchery and discuss my latest project. Thanks to Tricia Wilson Nguyen of Thistle-Threads, one of the creators of the Plimouth Plantation Jacket. I have started planning my own version of a 17th century Stumpwork casket (basically an embroidered trinket box, nothing to do with coffins!). I will give information about the history of these boxes and record my own journey in creating one. Hope the stitchers and potential stitchers out there enjoy my ramblings!
The top photo shows a miniature sampler I have since sold. It is on 48 stitches to the inch silk gauze. The petitpoint of a King Charles Cavalier on a cushion is from a chart by Nicola Mascall of the UK and is on 40 gauze. The next two photos are miniature crewel that has since been made up into a miniature sofa and is available for sale. Below that is a full size crewel embroidered fireplace screen, mounted on an antique wood form, which I stitched in the 1980's.
