Mullion Cove Cornwall - Anchor needlepoint kit
While I am waiting to hear from the museum about the Anglo Saxon brooch ...I am taking a look at my friend's needlepoint kit for her .
It is an Anchor Needlepoint kit of Mullion Cove Cornwall .
Jen and her daughter Dawn have both had a go and done the above bit of the sky .. .. .. .. and I think ,maybe , hit the tapestry brick wall . So now I,ve said I,ll do a bit .
So I sorted out the wool colour code which is on a separate piece of canvas, it is missing one skein of red tapestry wool...which I should be able to replace or send off for from Anchor I hope . Most of my wool is crewel wool ,which is very very fine wool ....tapestry wool is much thicker..but I could probably match the colour and double the thread if I cant get the tapestry wool .
Also missing is the picture of the completed needlepoint picture , the one that would have gone on the front of the kit packet .
The other thing I,m a bit worried about is that has been cut very close to the edge of the picture.....
....but should be alright if I,m very careful. See the top picture . I,m looking for some masking tape to cover it and strengthen it , to stop it unravelling .
I have made a little start with it , the colours are lovely . I would love to see the original painting by Robin Davidson .
..... cheerful .
