This was a class kit from the VMS retreat I attended last year. I chose this class because I thought I was learning stump work. This is a different kind of stump work than I expected. It is much simpler and probably faster than the needle weaving kind.
The piece is stitched on Glengee linen (forgive me if I misspelled). The linen is very nice. It is thick and easy to handle. I used hoop when I stitched. But this piece doesn't show it and it is so easy to iron out any wrinkle.
The piece is stitched using Anchor and WDW threads. Specialty stitches include the aforementioned stump work, Kam's coils, smyrna, rhodes, and lots of satin stitch. The original instruction uses French knots on top of the stump work. But I selected to use beads in place of all French knots.
