Everything you always wanted to know about stump work

August 15, 2008 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

Photo (and embroidery!) by Paula HewittThis beautiful example of stump work (dimensional embroidery) was created by Paula Hewitt of The Beauty of Life blog. Would you like to know more about how to produce 3D embroidery? Paula has done our community a service by posting a whopper list of stump work links on the stitchin fingers Ning site. The list is also available on Paula’s blog. Wow! Thank you so much, Paula.

And thanks to SharonB of In A Minute Ago blog for the heads-up!
