Stitch with Jennifer Pudney
Designed by Mary Self
I like the exuberance of Hungarian Embroidery, and how many variations you can get from some simple shapes.
The stitches used are running stitch, chain stitch, split stitch, French knots, couching, eyelets and fly stitch.
The outlines of the leaves, stems, flowers and pomegranates are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material.
You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.

Welcome to our Echinacea Glow kit, using a fabric designed by Anna Marie Horner. The Echinacea Flower is also known as the Cone Flower. The fabric is embellished with two simple stitches and 2 strands of stranded cotton.
You will have enough threads to stitch two flowers of each colour. The 30cm of fabric allows you to stitch a bunch of flowers altogether or a number of single flowers for mounting separately. It is up to you.

This is my first design that shows a couple together as equal characters! I'm not sure what Freud would make of this missing component for so many years, and it's sudden appearance. The colours are a bit softer than my usual palette. This would be a great gift for the parents! Wedding anniversaries or retirement celebrations.

I come from South Taranaki where the trees are all windswept in one direction so this is a celebration of the effect of mother nature.
The stitches used are blanket stitch, lazy daisy, split stitch, running stitch and French knots.
In the following set of instructions we have described the threads and stitches that we used in our sample. However, please feel free to use other threads and your favourite stitches. This is freestyle embroidery and by varying the methods you use, your embroidery will become unique.
The outlines of the leaves, branches and trunks are stitched for you to embroider and embellish as you wish. Our sample uses the enclosed scan of the outlines for you to use as patterns for applique, either with felt as in the sample or material.
You could also just stitch them with simple stitching or paint them (we used So Soft fabric paint) and stitch outlines or just unpick the stitching … we would love to see what you will come up with.

In a tangle of flowers
were angels and butterflies
flitting and fluttering
singing a tune
arias for summer
and whispers for the moon

A holiday trip to Samoa was very inspiring.
I loved the brilliant tropical colours and foliage, and the intense turquoise coloured sea.
