Hi Elmsley,
Sharon (DaffyCat) was the originator of this blog, but posted a message on there to say she didn't want to do it anymore, and asked if anyone else wanted to. I offered to do it, as I didn't want to see the blog close down, and so Sharo...
Anyone have any suggestions for embroidery books in this genre?
This group discusses the embroidery of the 16th and 17thC. There is a seperate group for stumpwork.
Brilliant - thankyou - just the answer I needed!
The main blog of the owner of the peacock blog is http://itsdaffycat.blogspot.com/ She posts regularly on that blog so you could leave a comment there and ask her about the situation.

My blog is devoted to describing the progress of my embroidery, and calligraphy and illumination work.
I have spoken about only recently haven taken up embroidery but yet- here are photos of work dating back to 1990 (and even school in the 80s!). But they are exclusively bargello, and two pieces of stumpwork in about 2007/2008. I didn't know split stitch, or stem stich, or anything else like that, so I didn't regard myself as being able to do embroidery - just a bit of bargello, and just starting stumpwork.
It wasn't until the end of 2008 that I seriously took up embroidery and starting learning what is in all the books, and got some proper supplies :-)
I hope I didn't sound like I was bigging myself up - starting the Long and Short Stitch and Elizabethan stuff and yet never having had picked up a needle. I didn't mean it that way. I had.

- Hi hope you're feeling better. I love stump work too I'm in the middle of making myself a 4 seasons mirror in stump work and wondering if I've bitten off more than I can chew!

Grace Lister said… - Elmsley Rose. I have passed on to Gail Gray the website of a course on Jacobean Work but cannot tell her how to join this group. Like you, I have forgotten how to do it. Grace

- Elmsley Rose. I have answered the query about a course on Jacobean Work and am in the process of finding a course for this lady. I remember that someone in my group on another forum did a course on this technique somewhere in the Midlands I think and was very pleased with it. I will let her know about it when I get a reply. Hope you are better soon. Grace

I didn't post the comparison photos as I was not happy with my overcast petals. I still have them as a reminder to me but I personally found the overcast method more difficult as they didn't look as even as my buttonhole. Perhaops this is just practise. IGrace Lister uses the overcast method and ghers look really nice . She is a very experienced stitcher. I redid my petals in buttonhole.
