Candlewick Fuchsias

Description

Candlewicking is an embroidery technique where a combination of knots and backstitches were applied to white or cream colored calico or canvas. The name originated in the American West, where women who were unable to get embroidery threads, used the thread intended for candle wicks to do their embroidery.
