annemeg Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 A nice form of embroidery to try are the Rowandean embroideries. The finished pictures look very complicated but in fact are relatively easy to do. They produce both small and large kits and are well worth trying (also addictive when you've done one!)

Anne Do you know of a site that sells them so we can have a look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annemeg Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 http://www.rowandean.com This is the link for Rowandean embroideries. If you click on catalogue 2007 all the kits are listed in size categories. I would suggest starting with a small one and they aren't difficult but very effective. The instructions in each pack are very clear and there are plenty of threads if you make a mistake. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenniferatra Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I went to a needle craft show at the Birmingham NEC last year and I was looking for an alternative to cross stitch, but which had a similar style. I attended a workshop and had a go at blackwork. The technique is like backstitch on a cross stitch picture. It was very enjoyable and theraputic, the finished effect is stunning, and when alternating between cross stitch and black work I find I never get bored of the same thing.
