March Workshop

On Mothering Sunday this year we treated ourselves to a workshop in canvas work. Fiona Wemyss from the Wemyss School of Needlework taught us Norweave, which is a form of gobelin stitch. Her kits not only provided us with all the materials we needed, but also frames and the use of stands so we could learn the most economic way to stitch. Some of the class worked quicker than others but under Fiona’s expert guidance we mastered the technique. We learnt how to blend colours, tips and tricks for starting and finishing threads, how the project might be joined with other panels, as well as given a fascinating insight into the Wemyss family history and it’s role in developing needle craft.
I will post photo’s of finished panels as I am sent pictures of them.
