I'm including a project today made by my friend Linda, a/k/a Mou, a/k/a Baroness Gabriella. She took me to my first event almost 9 years ago now at 12th Night in Castel Rouge. We knew each other from an embroidery shop that we take classes at and she talked warmly about the great fun she had with this historical group.
This set was my 2009 birthday gift that I just got as she submitted it for a fundraiser through the Embroidery Guild of Winnipeg. It was accepted for their fundraiser calendar and is just exquisite. The large pin cushion is called a Biscornu and the small cushion is a scissor fob. The pattern is her own original one made up of leaf patterns, lovely tiny red beads, gems and a stunning tassel and cord. She provides so much inspiration and is always trying new techniques.
If you ever want to talk about blackwork, speak with Gabriella!
