I got the pieces onto their backing this week and started the stem stitches. As usual with crewel, it goes pretty quickly once it's started. I think it will look good when done.
Hi Pierrette - It's the Fair Maiden Sewing Purse from the cover of the latest issue of Sampler and Antique Needlework Quarterly. I think it'd be easy to work in one piece, but the designer made it three pieces - and since this is my first time making the design, I'm following her instructions.
Meg,
ReplyDeleteHave you designed that project yourself and why two pieces? What will it be when finished, a curious mind would like to know :-)

ReplyDeleteMeg,
ReplyDeleteJust had a look at the cover page of that magazine online and that is a beautiful project.
Looking forward to watch your progress on it.
