Blue Elegance is designed as an introduction to crewel work. It is a great project if you are comfortable with general embroidery stitches but are new to crewel work.
Patterns and textures are created by using a variety of mostly common stitches as well as laid trellis fillings which are distinct to crewel work.
The embroidery design measures 16cm x 14cm wide (6 ½ x 5 ½”) and the linen panel 30cm (12″) square. The Crewel work kit: Blue Elegance makes a very pretty insert on a pillow and looks equally lovely framed.
Blue Elegance was published under the title ‘Arcadian Elegance’ in A-Z of Crewel Embroidery by Country Bumpkin Publications (2004).
