Our framing shop held their annual embroidery exhibit. It's the largest in Moldova, and they give prizes. It's also curated. I was asked to submit three of my pieces. One won both the people's choice and technical competence awards. I was shocked! I was also the only non-Moldovan in the exhibit.
I've managed to bump into the bottom of the piece - the butterfly on the left is all the way to the bottom. Now to fill in all that missing stitching....
The Silk Mill had a sale a little bit ago, so I bought the left hand package and got the right hand package free. They're going in my suitcase to Luanda. No idea what I'm doing with them yet, but they're going.
