Crewel Embroidery Needle case (back)

I wasn't going to waste the back of the needle case with nothing on it so I stitched this flower using a buttonhole stitch, french knots & chain stitch in the centre.

Ta-da!  Happily finished my first ever crewel piece of embroidery.  There are 4 pages of felt inside for my needles.

The Regina Stitchery Guild offered another Learn to Stitch class on Saturday morning from 9 - 12:00, this time on Crewel Embroidery.  Our instructor was Evelyn Wahl & it was very enjoyable.  The stitches we worked on were the stem stitch, satin stitch, fly stitch & chain stitch.  This will soon become a needlecase.
