Crewel

A Closed Mouth Gathers No Feet

Ok fellow crewel lovers.  Be prepared as I am about to break the internet with the awesomeness of the following photo:

a closed mouth gathers no feet

 

GAH!!!  My friend Bobby found this at an estate sale several years ago and thought I’d appreciate seeing it.  Is it not the most incredible piece of crewel work ever??  He also has God Bless Our Pad but we both agree this one wins hands down.   I love it so much.

If you have a piece you think beats this one send it to me!

    Are you kidding me? I feel so defeated! I haven’t even found a “please no smoking” crewel yet and now you show me this! How many can there be that match? How crazy!!

    I love to do crewel, and embroidery, but having so much trouble find in a project. I do not like counted cross stitch or counted anything and want wall art to do. I have done flowers butterflies and pheasants. But would love to do ducks but you can’t find anything like this.Like your sight, could you help and thanks for your time

      Hi Kathy –
      Ebay and etsy are wonderful sources of vintage kits – I suggest looking there!
