I started over a year ago and it's been a long time in the stitching but finally I am coming towards the completion of my RSN Crewelwork Certificate and thought I would share a few sneek peeks before it is put in for marking.
My original design which was then tweaked as there are a few elements that i wasn't happy with.
The pear stayed and was started with a triple trellis is varying shades of Appleton's green crewel wool.
The trunk has been stitched in a fine chain stitch again in different shades. You can also see Bokharan Couching for the main flower along with seed stitch and satin stitch.
The long leaf has been stitched in Fishbone Stitch and the mounds surrounding the trunk have been stitched in Laid Stitch again in a variety of shades light to dark.
It has come along way since these photographs were taken and I look forward to sharing the finished design in December when it goes for marking.
It really has been a long road as I have had to work around mine and my family's health along with travelling over 200 miles each time to stitch at Durham. I love stitching over there - Tracy is such a wonderful tutor, very patient and confidence giving and I am looking forward to starting a new project in January 2019 - I haven't decided yet what it will be.

Happy Halloween Stitching :)
