Her Majesty's Glove


This is another design by Sharon Cohen of Nostalgic Needle. I started working on this and MAN! is it hard! I have completed 2 petals in the main flower and the trellis stitch middle part. My first petal looks horrible, but my second one is starting to look right. It was really hard to figure it out exactly, but now that I have the knotting right its coming along. Practice will definitely make perfect. I'm out of batteries for a pic, but I'm going out later today so I will get some and get a piccie of my progress up here as soon as possible.

Sampler name tag


I have just completed this nametag to wear at the two guilds I belong to. It was designed by Sharon Cohen of Nostalgic Needle. I am absolutely in LOVE with all of her designs and have been for some time now. I may finally have obtained enough skill to make some of them! I have always loved that Millenium Cutwork Sampler. I am also totally smitten with her little Elizabethan Nightcap pincushion.Taking that class from Eilleen Bennett really got my juices flowing for some more works from the golden age of embroidery. I love all the intricate stitches.
