I realise the two eras are different but people looking for raised work of this kind, will often simply search under stumpwork. I would prefer a more general term that covers this type of raised work across all ages but one has yet to be developed and adopted as general use. My main interest is that people find it and see it, then they will ask how to do it and find out more about it.

This is stunning. Your needlelace is so even and perfect and the colours are soo soothing.

Beautiful Lynette. I love the design and soft colours, and the stitching is amazing.

I think I need a stomacher! Will it make me look slim, like this beauty? I love the dimension, texture, detail of this stitching!

Historically stumpwork came 100 years later than Elizabethan work. Elizabethan was the very beginning of it. I am a tutor of this work so had to read up a lot of history to find this out some years ago. Don't mind a bit you adding stumpwork to the tags, thankyou sharon.
