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

Hi everryone, I am new to stitchin fingers so I will tell you something of myself. I have been doing stumpwork and goldwork for about 3 months after doing courses with Alison Cole. I have a number of her kits to do as well so I will be busy. I do a number of different types of embroidery but at this stage I think I am better at thread painting so I will have to work at the others. I love embroidering, patchwork, designing and painting, traveling and spending time with my husband, daughter an 2 grandchildren and my chihuahuas

Comment by Elmsley Rose on June 12, 2012 at 23:10: Who here is doing the Thistle Thread Casket course? I know that Mary Martin is, and Carol-Anne Conway. It'd be really nice if we could meet up on the Casket Ning group :-)

I'm really really looking forward to the second 18 months where we concentrate on raised and detached work. The first 18 months is about learning how to design traditional (or not!) panels for your very own casket, period caskets in general, flat embroidery techniques, attaching the work to the casket etc. - the course started 5 weeks ago. I'm going to do a very traditional casket, with loads of raised and detached flowers, insects, a cat or two, a dragon or wyvern, more flowers, and me in a lovely flowing dress. I had a look through Twixt Art and Nature a bit back, and had a look at all the different techniques of doing dresses in raised work -there are heaps of variations, just in that one book!

Comment by Mary Martin on June 10, 2012 at 18:47: Just picked up both books on Ebay, thanks for reminding me!

Comment by Elmsley Rose on June 10, 2012 at 17:56: Barbara Hirst (it is Hirst, not Hurst :-) passed away a few years ago - so it's well worthwhile snapping up those books before they get any rarer, since there won't be anymore in the series. They are really good technical stumpwork books. I'm really glad to hear that they are still commonly available.
