I couldn’t think of anything clever for the title. It’s a cable stitch and I stitched a cable. It was very pleasing to stitch and fairly quick too but I did have to check out couple of different tutorials before I figured it out.
Important tools, ironing board, my hoop and baking paper. I use the baking paper to protect my iron when I use it to dry my label. And now I also see the smudge on my lens. The pro that I am.
I seem to like yellow! The background is a vintage pillowcase I bought in March for 1,50 euros. It has nice handmade lace on either end. I almost sold but luckily I came to my senses. Next a random shot I accidentally shot when I was trying to change the settings on my camera:
I’m almost protected from peeping toms by these plants, whatever they are…This is the first year they are flowering though.
Well, next stitch on my list is Palestrina Stitch. If you are interested, my other samplers are listed here.
Your stitches are neat and even.
Lovely.
The stitches look great! I wish I had the patience for this kind of beautiful work.
I’m very impatient person myself but somehow I can focus on embroidery. Anything else, I keep jumping from one thing to another.
