Remember I said here that I was going to put flowers on this sample? Well here they are.
There is also a little applique and some small cut outs, token like pieces which have been embellished with hand stitch.
The base of this piece is a vintage hankie and it has the feel of a vintage nightgown when I am stitching into it, it's beautifully soft.
As I said last time you saw this, the extra edge has been machine basted around the outside to allow for damp stretching. That will be removed when the piece is finished.
This sample is practice for my new class 'a sampler's cloth' which will be all things hand embroidery.
I am going away tomorrow and won't be back for ten days or so.
I'm visiting Stanley and spending time in London.
There will be cake and there will be shopping.
Registration for a samplers cloth will remain open here.
