I finished this large embroidered heraldic device last year. It is worked in wools, predominantly in split stitch.
I traced the heraldic design out in pencil, and worked the piece in a hoop
I had an earlier attempt at the design but was unhappy with the stitching and texture of the thread
Adding in the details of the 'weasels'
Blocking the panel
Adding tacked lines as a sewing guide
Stitching the ermines
Backing the piece with felt and adding twill tape belt loops
I added a band of purple trim around the edge to finish it off
