I have lights, gift, bell and snowman but am missing trees (week 2) and candles (week 6).
Hi Kimberley, I think this might be plaited braid stitch. This has been the subject of numerous discussions on how to stitch it but I think you will find the posts on this blog really helpful. http://thistle-threads.com.mytempweb.com/blog/

This group discusses the embroidery of the 16th and 17thC. There is a seperate group for stumpwork.

- Hi Jacqui,
Thanks for your answer to my Art Deco question. I have followed the links and found them to be quite useful. Will also check out Amazon - I already tend to spend too much time there - my bank balance is bulging (in the wrong direction) as much as my bookshelves are.
By the way - are you Jacqui from Sharon's cq class? How is your block going?
I still have not finished mine, but hopefully only another couple of weeks.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Iris (flaxleafemb from cq class)
Hopefully one day I will be able to get to visit NZ - have a few friends there. Napier has long been top on my list of places I would love to see.

Nice to see another Kiwi - and so close. Love your samplers, they are like mini works of art. I much prefer counted thread work myself as I'm not much good at freehand embroidery.

Jo in NZ said… - Jackie. Sorry I just saw your question about the Sassa Lynne threads.
I get mine from a lady in the states who bulk buys them. I have never even been able to get into the Sassa website!!
If you are keen to know more, let me know. She has some in her etsy shop, and Evening Star Designs sells them now too Although I have never had any luck getting an order thru to them. Incompatible computers or something...
We can always get together sometime and you can fondle my threads!! lol
