'Autumn Leaf' Jacobean Crewel Work Embroidery Pattern

The term ‘crewel work’ means embroidery with crewel wool threads on any fabric. The word ‘Jacobean’ describes the style of the design - influenced by English crewel work designs of the early 17th century. Jacobean crewel work is always stitched on natural-coloured pure linen twill fabric.

Leaves like this one form an integral part of the Tree of Life motif seen frequently in Jacobean design.

This design fits a 5" (12 cm) ring frame.  It is a perfect introduction to Jacobean for beginners.
