Kirstie's Handmade Britain

Needlework (1x3)

Air date: Nov 02, 2011

Kirstie takes on some complex needlework challenges as she enters a cushion of her own design into the needlecraft competition at the Great Yorkshire Show. With over 12,000 competition entrants across the weekend, and a massive 130,000 visitors expected to attend, Kirstie knows her entry at The Great Yorkshire Show must be top notch to have any chance of being crowned Best in Show. Once she's designed her cushion, Kirstie eagerly turns to her most favourite craft ever: freestyle machine embroidery - this time using water soluble backing to create gorgeous embroidered flowers. Kirstie turns to needlework wonder woman Jo Colwill to practice her hand embroidering and applique, quilting and bordering.
