Lace, lace, lace......lace cloth. It's going to be an overlay, that's the plan. It's going to lay over the cross stitch and hexagon piece. That will depend firstly on it working, working as I envisage it will work and secondly on whether I can put it down, stop embroidering on it. If I can restrain the stitch to the planned minimum or whether I won't be able to control myself and embroider it to death which is very tempting as it's so wonderful to handle.
This is happening in 'swathed in stitch'. I need to exercise some self control or we will never move on, we will spend 12 weeks stitching on this one piece.
After posting yesterdays offering i noticed something. Did you? I noticed a distinct lack of white. OK, this piece today is mostly white but it's not pure white, white and nothing else. I have remedied that this morning, put something else together. White, white and more white. Embroidery on that will begin this evening starting with bullion knots. I haven't done any of those for all of 24 hours.
