In an effort to keep this series of tutorials on the Goldwork & Silk Tudor-style Rose a little bit organized, I’m created an index page for all the related posts on this project. That way, if you want to come back to this project a little later on, you’ll be able to find all the links in one convenient place, which I’ll include under the Tips & Techniques page here on Needle ‘n Thread.
Below, you’ll find links to each article in this step-by-step series on embroidering a Tudor-style rose in silk and goldwork:

Hello Mary !
I just finished my Tudor Rose. I really enjoyed making it.
You can see it on my web site, if you want to take a look.
Again, many thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Have a nice day.
Hi Mary,
I’m interest in working this rose. After you transferred the design how did you mount it. Did you use a hoop or did you use stretcher bars.
Thank you for your great daily newsletters. It is wonderful that you freely share all your vast knowledge.
Hi, Jeanne – I used stretcher bars. When doing the goldwork, it’s important to have both hands free, so you’ll want to use something you can either use on a floor stand or prop on the edge of a table while you’re working. -MC
