Eye-candy alert! Through her gorgeous photos (and charming but brief text), Susan Elliott of Plays with Needles gives us a taste of a recent workshop she attended led by stumpwork expert Jane Nicholas. Jane’s work is … well, I’m so awed, I can’t come up with a sufficient superlative. And the students’ efforts are pretty amazing, too! Go to Susan’s post and see for yourself.

Not sure what stumpwork is? Stumpwork or raised work is a style of embroidery where the stitches are raised of the workpiece to create a dimensional effect to the embroidery work. Stumpwork embroidery can also use wire, to create added effects, such as dimensional leaves, butterfly wings and more.
Hi!! just love this stump work, although I haven’t been brave enough to try it yet
