If you have been following this project you will know that seven inch squares are being hand embroidered before a patchwork border is added.
My plan was that would be the completion of each surface before a lining was added to the reverse.
However, it seems I am an obsessive embellisher and I am now stitching separate little patches to add after the borders are complete.
using scraps of cloth for these little patches
The early stages of this 'little book of stitch samples' can be seen in this post. (there's a very quick video show and tell on there)
