Which comes first on wired elements - the edging or the filling stitches?

Comment by sue dulle on February 12, 2010 at 18:54: Oh good everything uploaded. I do have a question. Is there a maximum size to stumpwork? For example: are a cherry the size of a pea and a life sized cherry both stumpwork or does the larger cherry become needlework embellishment?

Comment by sue dulle on February 12, 2010 at 18:50: Well, I made my first atempt at stumpwork. I posted about it on my blog: http://sudukc.wordpress.com/ And I will try and upload the picture here

Comment by merrilyn on February 2, 2010 at 22:33: are we going to have another challenge after summer harvest

Comment by Elizabeth Braun on January 7, 2010 at 18:41: Well Sandra, you tell us what 'duging' means to you and then we can see if we understand! I, as a Brit, would say it means to bodge a job or to blur something s bit.

Comment by Sandra Fox on January 3, 2010 at 5:44: Sandy as a fellow aussie do you know if other countries know what we mean by fudging? I know we can throw the USA off with our slang. Great work. Sandy

I hope you find some interesting stuff in there

Comment by Elmsley Rose on December 5, 2009 at 23:30: Hi Sandy
You have a new blog! I've put it in my reader, and look forward to reading from you

Comment by Sandy Vass on December 5, 2009 at 17:47: Hi all, I have just added a free pattern for a christmas holly on my blog http://www.goldnstitches.typepad.com/ . Part one and two are already on the blog and the remainder will be added over the next couple of days. Enjoy

Comment by Elmsley Rose on November 15, 2009 at 13:06: I've been talking to the lady (seller). I'm buying a antique velvet heavily fringed cushion cover from her and so we've had quite a few chats in the last week.
Spotted in a group of items what looks like real vintage metal painted Purl (like the silk covered purl, not goldwork purl) - but can't be sure. So now she has learnt all about Stumpwork.

I hope it's ok that I put that up under Stitchin' Fingers rules. I'm not advertising for myself - I just thought they were interesting, and possibly useful to someone.
