Hello there everyone. Life has been a little too busy for blogging this week but I have been stitching. Spain was finished as planned and I have now ventured into Scandanavia.
This section is interesting as there are more specialty stitches. These cute little eyelets were particularly pleasing.
Here's a close up shot of the eyelets.
That white satin stitch block to the upper left was accompanied by three lots of reverse stitching and a great deal of frustration but the finished result is worth all the angst.

While I have not quite finished this section I fully expect to do so over the weekend. Then with the sampler half finished I am putting it away for a brief time as I want to make a stitched memory book for my god-daughters 18th birthday in July. The designing and the wording have all been completed - I have the fabric and threads selected and prepared so now I need to get my skates on and begin the stitching. July will come soon enough!
Have a great evening everyone.
c'est merveilleux !!! very nice !
ReplyDeleteIt looks very nice and interesting? What will be the next part?
ReplyDeleteThis is coming along nicely! So colorful!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some amazing stitching! I really like the eyelet stitches. Very pretty. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to reverse stitch satin stitching? You must have the patience of a Saint! I am a giant klutz and would probably end up ripping the linen.
ReplyDeleteThe memory book sounds like such a lovely idea. I can't wait to see it!
