Embroidered Woolen Stole

Brandy was going through her fabric remnants, when she found a lovely yard of golden wool.   She set it aside for me, to make a stole.  Instead of making a plain stole, I decided to embroider it.  Besides, embroidery I intend to add fringe on both sides.

I started out by cutting and piecing together the fabric.  My sister was kind enough to help me with the measurements, which where 84" x 12" + 1" added to each side for felling.

I choose a pattern from a book called Early American Embroidery Designs, scaled down the pattern, traced it, and pinned it onto the wool.
