Starting The Petite Pincushion<\/p><\/div>\n

There were two additional projects included in the Tudor and Stuart Goldwork Masterclass<\/a>, to provide further opportunities to use some of the stitches we are learning. The Tudor Pincushion<\/a> was one, and this “Petite Pincushion” is the second.\u00a0 The materials include a piece of silk brocade for the backing, some gold cord to provide an ornamental edge, and more spools of assorted metal threads for the goldwork stitches.<\/p>\n

Whereas the silk stitchery for the Tudor Pincushion was in primarily in Tent Stitch<\/a>, most of the silk work on the Petite Pincushion is in Queen Stitches<\/a>. I’ve not done any since I finished the silkwork on the sampler, and I am finding that I am having to remind myself to pull them tight to create the openwork effect. I will have to remember to line the embroidered side of the pincushion or the stuffing will poke out through the gaps!<\/p>\n

I stitched centre lines on the fabric, but as you can see, once I had the first stitch placed I snipped out the middle stitches and pulled them back out of the way.<\/p>\n

I’ve already finished with two of the silk colours, which appear only in the central starburst. Now I just have to do rows of strapwork in the other two colours, as well as the four blocks of tent stitches that provide a basis for a rather intriguing-looking interwoven stitch which will probably be nearly the last element I add.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
