We are getting very close to an end with the ‘Souvenir’ stitch-a-long from Victoria Sampler.
This week we have created the pointed end to our bell pull and introduced some Hardanger Kloister Blocks into our stitching as well as some Algerian Eyelets.
Hardanger is usually stitched
with Perle cotton thread but as I didn’t have any, I decided to try doing mine
with the Weeks Dye Works thread that I’ve been using for the rest of the design
and use three strands, which seemed to be about the right thickness.
I also added some small seed beads at the end.
Happy Stitching!
