Op. VI
Reading edition
The following sketch was done from bed hangings, the property of the Earl of Powis, at Powis Castle.
PLATE 15
THE design is a bold one of big leaves worked on the usual thick white hand-made linen. Undoubtedly the wools used were green at the time of working, but have now changed to beautiful shades of blue to indigo. Each leaf throughout the work has a thick contour in rope stitch of the four shades of the wool used, and the stem is most effective, done in squares of Cretan stitch in the same four shades.
