This Mountmellick embroidery doily featuring dogrose leaves, is the perfect project for beginner embroiderers, or a quick project for experienced embroiderers, that would make a lovely gift.
The Dogrose leaves mini doily is also an excellent taster project for those wanting to try Mountmellick embroidery. It will help you to get a feel for the fabric and the thread, without needing to embark on a huge project!
The plants featured in traditional designs were those that grew along the banks of the River Owenass, flowing through the town of Mountmellick. Dogroses were among these plants, and with their pretty flowers and attractively shaped leaves, they were a common motif.
