So nice the shine of the colors on the black is stunning.

Done a bit more (sorry for the slightly iffy colours -- I really ought to photograph this in daylight!):

It looks so pretty and soft. I love the silk threads.

Liking this more & more!! I don't think the colours are iffy! Difficult to photograph and get the true colours isn't it!

Mine's going to be a needle cushion (like a pin cushion only used to park my needle in while I'm sorting out threads or something like that)

Ooh, that's giving me ideas now -- we're away for most of the festive season this year, so no tree

, but next year... *thinks of sparkly fabrics decorated with holly and mangers in silks or satins and turned into pretty little biscornu ornaments*

The first square is finished (well, apart from backstitching the whipstitching line around it). And for now that'sgoing to be the last update as I really really need to set up that name plate, which I will go and do the moment I've posted this! For now, here is the front (in Eterna silk); the back will be the same design but in different colours, and in Madeira silk.

That's an AMAZING effect!! Love the sheen, and looking forward to the 2nd panel

That is absolutely beautiful Mabel, but how you are ever going to stick a needle in it, I just don't know.
I'd be too scared of damaging those beautiful threads.

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 8:01 pm

I'll only stick them into the black unstitched bits

~threadbear~ · Post by **~threadbear~** » Sun Nov 02, 2008 8:09 pm

That's ok then!

Had visions of that beautiful work with needle holes in it!

Beautiful colors and a wonderful design.
