The making of 'Speke Hall' creative, embroidered box

[@amandapower9718]

This is an incredible achievement Kate, it’s simply stunning! I love all the little links to aspects of Speke Hall, like the yew trees, the priest holes, the patterned walls, and roof textures. It is fascinating how the piece is constructed and how intricate all the panels are to make all the nooks and crannies of all the compartments. I feel so privileged to be attending the Tudor Embroidery Toolbox course to try and make my own little mini version based on all your creativity, design, manufacturing, skill, experience and hard work. Thanks for sharing the processes and techniques with us.

This is spectacular! I had absolutely no idea these kind of things existed but now I’m hooked! I love embroidery so it’s amazing to see how creative you can get with it. Your design for the fabric of the walls is also absolutely spot on! So glad to have come across this.
