Multi Coloured woven scarf
"Wow - I thought perhaps you had nuno felted the scarf then needle felted the decorative yarns onto it - but no, it's woven. Lovely and outrageous. Well done. Thank you for sharing

susan said… Thank you for your comment on my piece Raspberries, Blueberries, and a Happy Blue Bug. If you would like to try stumpwork, Jane Nicholas's books are very clear and helpful. I found some at my local library. This is only my second stumpwork project, though I have done many other types of embroidery. If I can be of any assistance, let me know!
I love your Colonel Percy Handbag! He's marvelous. Have a wonderful day!

Jessica Grimm said… Dear Julia,
Thank you for your nice comments on the completion of my TAST-2012 sampler! It has been a busy few weeks for me with lots of teaching and a knitting and stitching show. This week will see a lot of catching up and some creation of new ideas for future courses and workshops.
Have a nice day, Jessica
