Collecting crewel work embroidery has been a fun endeavor. Some of it ends up as tote bags, but some of it is just so wonderful, I have to hang it on the wall for everyday enjoyment. This example is definitely one to hang up. I have it in our dining area now. I can’t remember quite where I found it or how much I paid (although I know it was under $10.00). Looking at it close up, you can see how the different stitches were meant to capture the thick paint and brush strokes. I am so glad this beauty found it’s way into our home!

This is a real find! Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” is one of my favorite paintings. The crewel picture you found is beautifully stitched by an unknown artist. I know you will enjoy having it on your wall for now and perhaps as a tote bag later.
