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.

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

Green sparkled sun, covered the land.

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.

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.

Gorgeous and girly, this design uses lovely bright pastels on a hot rose pink background, making this floral almost edible. This design was very satisfying to do, mostly in chain stitch – the colours fill in fast – very hard to put down!
