Ælfwynn Anglo-Saxon - Swallow


 Introducing Ælfwynn  Anglo Saxon . .... a small , old cloth doll who loves needlework  .


Ælfwynn has been watching the Swallows gathering up in the sky . Any day now they will be leaving on their long journey to South Africa .


They will return next Spring time , around about April or May .


Ælfwynn is doing a little Swallow embroidery with crewel wool on a scrap of linen .

She is using stem stitch for the outline .


She is filling in the colours with Bayeux Stitch . 

It is very easy .Look further back in my blog journal and you can find how to do it look up the title - 

" Le Point de Bayeux - The Bayeux Tapestry Stitch "


                              Are you watching the Swallows ? Have they left your area yet ?

                                                           See you again soon  x
