Thanks for the info Linette I have a love of embroidery book and have quite a few on stumpwork and raised embroidery   ,D Ashby  stumpwork why not?    K Dennis  beginners guide to stumpwork & stumpwork seasons, R & B Hurst raised embroidery & new designs in raised embroidery,  F Maxwell  stumpwork faces, J Noicolas stumpwork embroidery & stumpwork embroidery desings and projects, H Pearce  dimensional embroidery, and J Edmonds Three dimensional embroidery. Even though I have all these books to hand I have done very little apart from some kits by Jean Fletcher, will make an effort to do more as such a waste when I have so much inspiration at hand. Oh for more hours in the day. How I ever found time for work is beyond me.

Hi Margaret. I am a tutor of Elizabethan & Stumpwork & thought I would put some info here about it. It was worked in Long & Short stitch originally. The needlelace came later. also the embroiderers of the time used "slips" of Tent stitch worked on very fine linen or canvas 7 it was then cut out & applied to the background. Have a look at Jane Nicholas's website for more info. www.janenicholas.com/

Hi I have done a little stumpwork, came accross Jean Fletcher`s kits on a visit to Australia in 1996, they use long and short stitch etc instead of needlelace which I suppose to traditionalists is a bit of a cheat but find it much easier to do. Have just looked in a drawer of projects to do and discovered I have one kit still not stitched so have put it in the box of things to do shortly! On my last visit to Australia in 2001 was disappointed to find that Jean had passed away and her husband had decided not to produce any more of her work. In the Embroiderers Guild headquarters in Malvern there is an amazing stumpwork box Jean had made, so glad I visited the Guild whilst I was there and very envious as they are so active, things going on on a daily basis.

Thanks Pamela. It actually needs a LOT of work at the moment  but time is short at the moment so it will have to go on hold till mid May as I go off to a show this week and then onto France for a week's teaching.  I love taking photos and playing with them and will get there eventually i hope! Nice to receive encouragement though as my son set it up initially and I do all the updating or most of it - partner is also a software developer fortunately!

Hi Grace - yup the books go for something daft like £160 or more!! Haven't looked in a while. They are fabulous books and I have both - much treasured! I was at Ally Pally the year she passed away and there was exhibition running of their work - she sadly passed away the week before and he still came and sat on the stand.  You were certainly VERY privileged to have been taught by them.
