Beautiful projects!!

My latest finish- an Easter Towel. The picture does not show that it is stitched on Zweigart's white with pearl thread Aida.

What a beautiful finish - did you hem it yourself? And is that a sparkle I see in the fabric?

Yes, I edge it myself, the method is called "merezhka". And this is Zweigart's White Aida with Pearl effect, so in reality it is sparkling. And being snow-white it makes the design itself look fresh (but not shouting) and spring-like. The lady to whom I gave it could not take a better photo.

Fantastic work

That is absolutely beautiful!!! What a lucky friend you have!

Oh my goodness, that's absolutely beautiful and I can definitely see sparkles.



If it's ok, may I ask, is that a loaf of bread? I hope you don't mind me asking, I know there are differences between the various countries and the similar but not the same traditions. The closest here I think would be a simnel cake - a fruit cake topped with marzipan and 12 marzipan balls to respresent the twelve apostles.

Thank you for asking. On the towel you can see a traditional Easter bread more usual in Eastern and central Ukraine. In the Western part of the country Easter bread looks like in the picture I am adding, and it has no fruit in itself and can be sweet or not sweet.

Beautiful finish, Lyudmilla . I love the borders too.

Does it taste a bit like a French brioche?

That is AWESOME Lyudmilla beautifully stitched as always. A Huge WELL DONE

Love the Easter Bread too, looks very yummy.

HAPPY EASTER DEAR FRIEND.

One of finishes. I told you in this household stitching takes less time than taking a photo of it.

and well worth waiting to see it too. Totally gorgeous Lyudmila so beautifully stitched and such pretty colours together .

That is so cute.

What a lovely picture and nicely finished as well.

How nice little girl with a dog!
And that Venice thing is pretty too! You're one master stitcher! I can only stitch needlepoint and the canvas must be stamped that I can stitch on it.

Oh that is so cute,

I wonder what is in the bowl, strawberries and cream or raspberries and cream?

You have finished it off beautifully.

Thank you all for your kind comments. "Cuties" are not my cuppa, but had to stitch this as a 1 year birthday present for a little girl.

My next project will be shown only when it is completed as it is a tablecloth which actially includes 5 separate designs. It is one of the oldest UFOs from the bottom drawer. The theme is "Australian birds", but in the centre is my favourite possum by Jan Woodman. Today I am finishing "Guelder rose" by Luca-S.

A finished corner of the above-mentioned UFO

Beautiful!!!
