I hear this so many times when I am teaching and when I am demonstrating around Australia at craft fairs.
This punchneedle embroidery which I do is worked in the same way but using much smaller needles therefore getting finer results.
Grandmothers used to use a large needle with wool and they freguently made very durable floor mats. I have seen some of these and they are quite lovely. Very heavy, though and a great deal of time and effort has been put into them. |

Just browsing your W/S. Did our grandmother do the same sort of thing or are you speaking generally. Hope that your visit to WA continues to be successful. I must say that I am very impressed with all you are doing. You deserve to do well.
Love Irene |

My GGGrandmother did something of this nature in the early 1900's. It looks like Chenille poinsettias out of varigated wool.
Someone told me it was "stumpwork", but do not believe it is. I have seen another quilt almost idential, so it make me wonder if it was a kit.
Would be anxious to here what others thought. |

Wendy, it seems to me that waht you have is a piece of punchneedle embroidery. When the loops of punchneedle embroidery are cut it can give the appearance of chenille. If you want to send a photo I can put it on my site for others to share and to give their opinions. |
