Tudor Rose embroidery in 1:12 scale |
In the main bedroom, the motif I embroidered on the counterpane, using some gold thread, is the red and white Tudor rose.
Dolls house Tudor bedroom embroidery |
The bedcover in blue is stitched with curved bands of silver thread. The pattern was an integral part of the fabric so all I had to do was sew over the lines. Easy - like painting by numbers!
Miniature blackwork cushions |
The Tudors were very keen on blackwork embroidery, and so am I. I like the crispness of the contrast between the white fabric and black thread. These cushions are made with designs featured in a dolls house magazine feature on Tudor times. Although they look intricate, they were easy to stitch as the motifs are repetitive.
Next on my 'to do' list is a wallhanging for the parlour.
