Greensleeves | Magnificently Popular
31st May 2024
Brenda Sortwell’s projects are characterised by bold, confident designs worked in crewel embroidery using a striking and engaging colour palette.
It’s no surprise then, that her project Greensleeves from A Passion for Needlework | The Whitehouse Daylesford was one of the most popular – it’s a real crowd pleaser.
Beautiful to behold, this project is also a stitching wonderland featuring an entire world of intricacy and complexity courtesy of a cacophony of flowers and entwined foliage that has been superbly imagined and skilfully stitched.
If you’re looking for a magnificent crewel embroidery piece that you will thoroughly enjoying stitching, Greensleeves should absolutely be on your list.
