    So the new EGA logo I stitched grew up to be a tin topper. It fits perfectly.

    Suzanne Bloemker posted an update in the group Group logo of Elizabethan/Renaissance EmbroideryElizabethan/Renaissance Embroidery 6 years, 11 months ago

    Here is my “More Than a Rose” GCC piece that I recently finished. It is a very difficult piece that more than one person in my group, modified how they finished it, because they gave up on figuring out some of the stitches. I’m the only one that fully got through it. It’s not perfect, but it’s close enough.

      Leslie Gagliardi replied 6 years, 10 months ago

      Well, I’m inspired, Nancy. I have finished just the black outline so I have most of it left to do. Your plaited braid looks really nice and I’m hoping to learn the stitch!

    • Profile picture of Suzanne Bloemker
      Suzanne Bloemker replied 6 years, 10 months ago

      Don’t know where Nancy came from – my name is Suzanne or Suzi. But that’s ok. Good luck, if you’re doing this piece. I’m left-handed and doing the plaited braid was a challenge. I used directions from at least 3 different books to figure it out.

      beautiful.

      Heather Long replied 2 years, 9 months ago

      Suzanne, your finish is stunning! I’m just starting this piece and am intimidated but up for the challenge. I’m left-handed as well and am a bit nervous about what you said about having to source instructions from many sources. What book ultimately worked best for you?
