I have a great finish to report. It's not a large piece, 25 x 25", but certainly used up alot of hand stitching time. The center piece was pre-printed and intended for quilting. I wanted to embroider it with color. I started it a few years ago, then it went into the closet for awhile.
Whenever you have a clear out, you uncover forgotten projects. I have rekindled my hand stitching phase and try to do it every evening. I started by finishing the stitching on this piece. Then it sat again, waiting for an appropriate border. I used Sulky 12 wt thread and 3-strand embroidery floss.
Then it sat again, waiting for an appropriate border. I put another border on it, it just didn't work. I took that border off, and chose this one. I like it.
I'm linking up with Kelly at My Quilt Infatuation. Hop on over there to see what other delightful projects are being created.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
That is so beautiful! What a great finish, and just in time for the holidays :)
