My favourite word today is speck. It came to me last night when I was embroidering this section and adding tiny bits of colour...specks..........

There is new cutwork and applique here along with bullion knots and French knots. Tomorrow it will be lace, but not on this cloth. This cloth will now rest over the weekend whilst I gather my thoughts. Speaking of gathering you can also see my latest scrap of vintage, bought online, tiny yet gorgeous.
