Sue Mondabaugh completed her Master Craftsman in Crewel Embroidery. Master Craftsman programs are designed to promote excellence in embroidery by providing the accomplished needle worker the opportunity to demonstrate skills and become certified as a “master” in her area of expertise.

Well done Sue! Here are the projects she submitted for the program. The designs in Step 3 and Step 6, were her original designs. The others were provided for her to stitch using her own skills in choosing colors and stitch choice.

Step 1: A provided design with emphasis on basic skills in stitch execution and color usage.

Step 2: A provided design with required and elective stitches and color choice based on research of eighteenth-century New England crewel embroidery.

Step 3: An original design, using textured stitches to create dimension.

Step 4: One of two provided designs, demonstrating skill in shading techniques

Step 5: An adaptation of a Jacobean or Elizabethan crewel design based on research into the period.

Step 6: An original design, entirely in crewel wool, demonstrating mastery of stitch, color, and design
