Cool crewel embroidery books, websites, blogs and pictures
This is my new stash of crewel wool. Very precious! I got it in a swap with Whizz Me.
It is Appleton’s 2ply crewel wool. The colors are lovely. I am getting stressed about what I should do with it exactly. I want to read more about techniques before I dig into it. (Although I did use some pink for a certain mouse’s nose.)

Hi Heather! I would love to get a crewel along going. I have not donw any crewel embroidery since grade school…oh, 30 years ago. I am going to do a needle book with crewel cover using a pattern form theNEw Crewel. Just to warm up for somethign more courageous. I also emailed Zoe, about a crewel along. My blog is only a few weeks old, I don;t think I have many eyes yet and thought perhaps if possible some sort of post on whip up would get more attention. I see both you and Zoe are whip authors. so let me know if that is in the realm of possibilites. I am also interested in Japanese sashiko, but I think I will save that for another lifetime. I would like to link to one of your blogs, whcih would you prefer? LLife in Japan must be quite different from life in Ireland!
i’ll email you about this asap!
please do register if you would like to post links to your crewel works-in-progress or your finds on your website!

I wanted to make this a separate website from my main crafting blog Making Time so that other people would be able to register and make posts to share crewel related resources.
