The next meeting is on Tuesday 10th June and is a "hands on" led by Sue Baguley. Sue will provide kits and you will only need to bring your needles and an embroidery hoop if you have one.

CREWEL TO BE KIND
I have spent some time looking at the difference between Crewel and Jacobean Embroidery. Most people, when looking at the history between the two, have reached the conclusion that the main difference is the use of wool in crewel work and the use of a variety of threads, silk, metal, beads and wool in Jacobean work.
Many of the designs are interchangeable and can be adapted for either preference. My personal preference is using the the Jacobean style on a variety of patterns which I would refer to as being broadly Crewel patterns.
Although this may not suit purists, I find it achieves a result which I hope you find as agreeable to you as much as I do.
Sue
