Re: Mabel's other stitching
WOW. absolutely fantastico Mabel. Another one of your exquisite pieces. I love your projects as they are always so neatly worked & you use many different stitches. With the organza as a background in this piece it really sets it off well. You always amaze me with your skills

Re: Mabel's other stitching
Thanks all - it's really down to the lady at Rowandean for showing anyone who liked how to make these things; that's one generous lady!

Re: Mabel's other stitching
That's a cute little thing. It's fun to learn new stuff -- or how to incorporate new things into one's stitching. Hope you had a great time down at the Show.

Re: Mabel's other stitching
Another little triumph from Mabel! I've seen Rowandean designs before, but none so close up .What a clever use of Organza.

Re: Mabel's other stitching
For a change I have no pressing deadlines so I decided to have a few just-for-fun projects of other people's designs so I don't have to worry about photographing and charting and diagramming
Here is a the first one, a Kelly Fletcher freebie - my apologies for the Christmas theme, that was not intentional! - with an extremely wonky star on top, and baubles done in a variety of stitches. The threads are Caron

Re: Mabel's other stitching
That is such a gorgeous design and I imagine it should stitch up quite quickly. Great for cards and I love your colour scheme. Very very tempting.

Re: Mabel's other stitching
Saw this on Flights of Fancy. Love the different ways you've done the baubles. Would look fab in silk...

Ah, funny you should say that - no, I haven't done another tree, but I got out my Threadworx overdyed Vineyard silks for a Mary Corbet star freebie (pics soon)

All stars should be bright, and these are lovely! Almost makes me think I need to do a bit of embroidery... ( )
