Has anyone ever tried stumpwork? I found the cutest little animals but have never done it before. Is it just like applique

Thank you all for the links. This is a great question! Has anyone actually tried these? Some look so complicated.

I never heard of this and still do not understand it after looking at all the sites shared. Is it done by hand?

Hi Scrappinhapie, it's actually embroidery that is raised. Have a look at the site below. Love and blessings Chris

These are so pretty

I just remembered that Eric put up a recent project which would probably also come under the banner of stumpwork.

Here's another link specifically for machine embroidered stumpwork.

Beautiful designs.

I've received a framed stumpwork design at a sewing retreat. It's fabulous and is Iris flowers, I think. Haven't tried it myself, but here are some to look at.

I downloaded the instructions for the tiny berry garland from windflowers. Based on the instructions it is hand embroidery.

I think it is like a 3D applique. Very pretty...but I've never tried it. Hopefully someone here has.
Muffy :)

haven't heard of it either... sounds interesting though, let me know where to find out about it

I have never heard of stumpwork, where can i find it thanks Diamond
