I'm taking part in Sharon B's Stitch Explorer Challenge. Find out all about it here. This month's challenge is needle weaving.
I went back over my bits and pieces to find some examples of ways I have used this technique.
It's very good for leaves!

These were from another of Sharon's challenges 'Bags of Fun'.

These were used to 'frame' a piece of canvas work for a box lid. The design is based on red clover.

More needle woven leaves, again combined with canvas work and used as a frame for the insert for a box lid. And the 'trees' were worked on a piece of not so much drawn thread as almost totally destroyed canvas!

Here, on the back of one of my 'flies',in metallic threads. I used thread to make a grid first, covering the silver fabrics, then wove some of the threads together with needle weaving.
