PieceWork magazine's Spring 2024 issue: Forget-Me-Nots by Deanna Hall West, pages 34-37
The Spring 2024 issue of PieceWork magazine features the second of a four-part series of lovely embroidery designs by the fabulous Deanna Hall West.
As I've mentioned in earlier blog posts, Deanna doesn't realize it, but I've been a silent "groupie" of hers for a couple of decades--I own many of her silk ribbon embroidery books. Her "Stitch in Time" library is always so well researched, explained and diagramed.
Forget-Me-Nots is a Silk Ribbon spray based on a Victorian pelerine.
"Pelerine" is a new word for me--as always, PieceWork articles are detailed and anticipate your questions. PieceWork Winter 2023 issue, page 42, has a photo of the inspiration behind "Marguerite Daisies" (the first of the four-part series) and explains "A pelerine is a short woman's cape or tippet made of fur or fabric. It has long panels hanging down the center front and is waist length in the back."
