Logwood Legacy
The Autumn Challenge for STARS (formerly Suffolk West Embroiderers' Guild) was for each member to make an embroidered work; any size, any style, any technique, using a piece of silk.
This was the original silk, from Walters Mill in Sudbury. Chosen for the suggestion of stars in the weave. Everyone had a piece approx. 7" x 10"
