Jacobean Leaves is an exciting project if you some experience with crewel embroidery and are looking for something a little more challenging to further develop your skills.

Jacobean Leaves was one of my first crewel work designs. It was inspired by the magnificent foliage traditionally  adorning Jacobean hangings. The design was created as a stitch sampler for Embroiderer’s Guild of South Australia and later published in issue 41 of Inspirations Magazine.
