Anglo - Saxon Brooch Crewel more colour

It's been hard to find time to do my embroidery , we,ve been out and about so much .

I always carry my work with me in this bag and actually there are several projects packed away in here .
  It's a DMC Travel bag with lots of useful zippered pockets for my crewel wool , scissors , needles , it has file binder rings for my notes , pictures and patterns which I keep in plastic punched pockets ...and a pocket on the outside where I slip my glasses , emery boards and hand cream .
   Larger projects get rolled up in a pillowcase and tied up on the outside between the handles ...I find it very useful .

Bayeux Tapestry Stitch -prepare slightly larger sample

 I finished my tiny Halley's Comet , my first attempt at doing Bayeux Tapestry stitch . The thing is , this is is actually a process of working three stitches together , which I will be able to show more clearly in my next post .

                     So I am sorting through my wool again and deciding on colours .

                I even tried out the colours together with my colouring pencils .
              This will just be a little sample to go into my personal stitch book .

 I prepared this Quatrefoil medieval window and I,m going to fill it with Bayeux Tapestry stitch .
I chose my colours and as always happens ,  I haven't got enough of Appleton's crewel wool no 481 to get started ! So I,m now waiting for that (and a few others ) to be sent to me from The Viking Loom  .
Meanwhile I am going to put my feet up and have a lovely browse through these two wonderful books .

The Bayeux Tapestry  by David .M.Wilson  and   Herbier medieval by Bruno Fogliazza  .
 Simply the best book ever on the subject of the Bayeux Tapestry and  Bruno's book shows beautifully , how to do and use the Bayeux Stitch for other modern designs . I love your book Bruno !
 I also give here the link to Chantal James wonderful website https://www.bayeux-broderie.com/gb/  ..sigh ..I wish to go and see her workshop !
