Class Description: Deerfield embroidery is a form of blue and white surface embroidery worked in crewel or linen threads on a linen ground. It is associated with Deerfield, Massachusetts, USA. The Deerfield Society of Blue and White Needlework, was set up in 1896, as a way to boost the town’s economy by reviving American Needlework from the 1700’s.
In this class we will explore the history of Deerfield Embroidery through a short presentation before delving into the technique itself. There will be a choice between a traditional or a contemporary design, that you will transfer. Using crewel wool on linen, the stitches used will be those traditionally used, outline stitch, Herringbone, half chain, snail trail (coral knot), Spike Stitch (buttonhole), New England laid stitch, lattice stitch and honeycomb stitch. Kit includes crewel wool, linen, and needles.
