Every time I see some form of stumpwork I am blown away. I just can not wrap my head around how it works. Elizabeth at Sew in Love must have heard my cries for help because she created an easy to follow tutorial on Raised Needlelace/Stumpwork. I am just beside myself to get started making this darling strawberry. It is the perfect time of year for this wonderful treat. Wouldn’t it just be the best on an apron or a warm weather cardigan?
You can see the full tutorial HERE.

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.
