I’m a beginner at goldwork embroidery, still in my fumbling phase of working slowly and carefully! Though I do have big ideas for a goldwork design with, of course, the stash building underway.

I love goldwork – the sumptuousness of completed pieces, the skill required to achieve beautiful results, the long history of goldwork and the challenge of learning the technique – wonderful!

Goldwork is one if my favourite embroidery techniques. I’m hoping to spend more time indulging in it.

I love Goldwork because of the variety of ways in which it can be used whether Opus Anglicanum, Ecclesiastical or Royal embroidery but also with today’s decorative and fashion uses. I would love to own this book so as to help in increasing my understanding and skill with this challenging but rewarding technique.

I admire gold work and have a book and a kit or two in my stash. It’s near the top of my list of techniques to learn. As attending workshops is difficult for me, another book on this technique would be most welcome.

I love goldwork. I have done several simple projects and have a couple of harder projects that I need to work on to improve my skill.

I love Goldwork and have done a workshop with Golden Hind. I have also done silk shading with Goldwork, Ore New and used it to add to other embroidery. I now am on Chemo. and it is affecting my vision so I have put it at one side for the time being and hope to resume later. I could just drool with this book in the meantime!!

Goldwork is totally new to me. I would love to try it. Crewelwork is usually my favorite type of stitching.
