Comment by B J Elder/WA on April 19, 2015 at 3:40pm: I've pulled out my embroidery books and am finding some good info on stumpwork.So.... I'm jumping in and will try this. Now to get my idea. This and the soon to be new TP challenge should keep me busy, along with recovering all the outside chair cushions for the deck furniture at the lodges. Just ordered 24 yards of fabric. AUGH! What am I getting myself into? LOL

Comment by Charlotte Gustavson on April 19, 2015 at 2:54pm: I actually have two books on stumpwork but never got around to trying it! lol I remember one of the books had this phenomenal piece of a golfer that just blew me away! Probably why I never tried it! :D

Comment by B J Elder/WA on April 19, 2015 at 6:08am: Sounds interesting. Will you put up links to it or do we find it on our own?

Comment by Gwen on April 19, 2015 at 6:02am: Sounds perfect to me, Brenda.

Comment by Brenda Crisci on April 19, 2015 at 4:27am: Raised Embroidery......Hmmm....it is beautiful. OK, this is something new....lets take a vote...who wants to give stumpwork a try. Something small, no larger than a post card...something we get to keep, not a swap....just so we can add this technique to our tool box.

Comment by linda harriott/UK on April 18, 2015 at 11:27pm: I have tried stumpwork, I did a thistle and a small bee. Still have the piece somewhere, very relaxing to do I remember. Think I made acorns too.
